We implemented a very simple neural network on a 8 MHz 68hc11. It used
three inputs 2 hidden and one output. After making a lookup table for
a trig function converting the floating point to fixed point and using
every trick I and a couple of wizards knew we finaly got it to run three
time a second. This was a very simple aplication. 

It basicly made a decision based on color in daylight. Not a real tough
choice. Anything more complex IMHO would require a time machine to get
any thing resembling real time preformance at a rate greater than watching
grass grow.
