   What about the V40?  does anyone have any feedback on this chip?  I understand
   its cheap, has 9600 baud serial built in, pretty compact and not that shabby
   at doing calculations.  Whats the scoop on this chip?  An engineering group
   here at UM has decided to use it in each of the six legs of its new walking
   robot.  Sounds like it would do well with a 80x86 chip.

Yes, V series micro processors are manufactured by NEC.  The most of
all features is compatiblity with 80x86.  I do not have precise
catalogue now.  Forgive me if I made misstakes here.  With my belif,
the compatibility would be like this;

8086 < V20 < V25 < 80186 < V30 < 80286 ... < V40 ... < V50 ... < V60 < 80486
                                       ^^        ^^        ^^
                                      80386 may put around here
