There are several new PICs on the way.  The '63 and '73 were listed in some
marketing literature given out at the seminar earlier this year.  The '61 and
'65 are mentioned in various files included with the PICSTART-16C.  I asked a
Microchip employee about them, and he was very surprised to find out that the
PICSTART referred to these parts; he said they weren't supposed to be talking
about them yet.

PIC16C61: a 16C71 without the A/D converter (lower cost)

PIC16C63: a 16C64 in a 28-pin package

PIC16C65: a 16C74 without the A/D converter (lower cost)

PIC16C73: a 16C74 in a 28-pin package

Some of the marketing literature from the seminar also described a 17C44,
which is a 17C42 with more memory.

Last year I didn't think the 17C4x was very cost effective, since the prices
were comparable to the 68HC11, although admittedly the 17C42 runs faster.
Since Motorola is unable to keep up with demand and 68HC11 prices have gone
up considerably, the 17C42 is looking very attractive.

The Mitsubishi 377xx family also is good for high performance low power
embedded applications, but I can't actually recommend Mitsubishi because they
are very hard to deal with and tend to screw small companies royally.
