Any thoughts or ideas?

Rabbit microcontrollers and compat. with the Z80 instruction set.

What do you want to know?
I've used the Rabbit 2000 modules in a project maybe 5 years ago and
was fairly impressed. C compiler had a few minor issues at the time,
but it was really nice and seamless compile-run system.
The real-time C kernel was quite good.
Had lots of good user forum support 5 years ago, probably even better
know as they are even more popular.

The rabbit modules and dev systems are cheap, feature packed, and
simple to use, you can hardly go wrong.

What sort of input/output to and from the PC to module/dev. kit can
you get.
Can you program the module to output to the PC screen?

I don't quite understand what you are asking?

The kit comes with a programming cable that (from memory) connects to
the PC serial port. This is how you download to and debug programs on
the board.

Using the programming/debugger you can I think during development,
using printf in your code.

But as a standalone module on your final application you would have to
use either the Ethernet port or one of the serial ports.
Serial port probably the easiest, just send out strings and use a
terminal program on the PC.

The Ethernet port would allow you to display data on say a web page
that you can view from any internet machine anywhere in the world, if
the module is TCP/IP enabled and connected to the net of course. It
mentions this capability on the product page:
