   Caution!  In a couple of cases where I designed in a Microchip part,
   a Xicor part would not function in the same socket with the same
   software.  At the time I was in crunch mode and didn't have the time
   to figure out why.  A quick scan of the data books did not point out
   any obvious differences.  I had a chat with a Microchip technical
   person on this and he agreed there was a difference but couldn't
   remember what it was.

   Perhaps someone has persued this in more detail and could post his/her
   findings.
