Both the 16C64 and 16C74 are becoming more freely available in sample
qtys now. Elbatex will have been allocated some, but I am not aware of their
 priority
list for sample distribution

I'm not sure if this may be a typing error on your part - if what you
have is a Picstart-16B1, there is no upgrade available to support the
16C74/73, you will need to purchase the Picstart-16C, which is just
becoming available. Obviously if what you have is a Picstart-16C the
software supplied with it should inherently support the 16C74/73
