Yeah,
The general consensus was Hi-Tech as the way to go. I just got my copy today (>$1K) and it appears to install seamlessly into Microchip's MPLAB IDE. Out of two exisiting projects, the first one compiled and linked without a hitch the second one blew up and spewed about 50 arcane error messages... sigh... I probably have a switch backward somewhere.

As a follow up question: I am also developing code for the Cygnal C8051F060 and C8051F321 processors. The Keil Evaluation compiler supplied with Cygnal's development kit is hobbled to only generated 4K bytes of code. Anyone have a special favorite 8051 compiler which supports Cygnal Parts?
