I have being using the AT89S8252 without any complain or problems. The extra timer, the 256 bytes of internal RAM and the best of all, the serialy programmable 8k flash code using only 4 pins of your PC parallel port, allows you to download new code more than one thousand times. As a rule, I leave those 4 wires (ground, Reset and 2 pin ports) available at a RJ11 connector just for that purpose, so upgrades can be done at the field by the customer.
