Chances are if they're really popular, they probably already have drivers for them. You'll probably want to look for *really* new stuff and provide driver support for them. > www.national.com has some stuff, but like the guy said in the > post, "I dont know if you will actually be able to find somebody with this > hardware." Ok its not all that rare, but not as easy to find, although the watchdog devices which are on Natsemi's site are mostly part of a south bridge so you'll probably see a number of them in various "embedded" type boxes, so they are definately well worth supporting.
