January 8, 2003 - SofTec Microsystems has started hosting and maintaining of a series of discussion forums dedicated to embedded designers on its web site at http://www.softecmicro.com/forum. The first two forums hosted focus on HC08 and ST7 microcontrollers.

The discussion forums aim to create a virtual reference environment where a growing community of designers will be able to share opinions, user experiences and project ideas. SofTec Microsystems' engineers will be available to help users both with general questions about microcontroller architectures and usage and with specific topics about SofTec Microsystems' development tools.

Thanks to the wide range of possibilities offered by SofTec Microsystems' forums, users will have the possibility to create and maintain their own profiles, search for specific arguments, be notified by e-mail when their questions are answered, and much more.
