Thanks, but googling for a SHA1 implementation for the HC11 doesn't
show up much. Compiling a public domain implementation (stolen from
mppe sources) complains that the HC11 doesn't have enough registers
to cope. Soft registers on HC11 are still a little flaky. I could
spent time beating the implementation to be smarter, but is there an
lighter-weight option?

What other digests might be attainable?

Bernard.
