     Do you think it would be possible with improved firmware to support
inline H8 code embedded in a user program?  For example, a special byte code
could indicate that the following code should be executed directly by a
subroutine CALL until it decided to RETurn?  This might allow compilers to
embed high-performance, efficient library code into a user program instead
of relying on the firmware to implement every feature, or byte code
operations to support every possibility.

Good idea!  I like it!  The only problem I can see with this is I'm not sure if
the H8 supports position independant code or not.  If it does, then there's no
problem.
