Has anybody yet played with one of these, for it seems to

The only 8 bits in the ADC / DAC seems a little limiting?
bits of what? .... tee hee

Bit is a contraction of BInary digiT, or Binary digIT.

didn't know that .....

And then taking a big BITE of them, 8 bits at a time, except
that it is spelt BYTE to reduce confusion.

Although in the olden days (1965 onwards) in the PDP5 and PDP8
a byte was only 6 bits.

the terms nibble/nybble and munch seem to have fallen into disuse, I
guess they pushed the joke too far
