I should have rephrased that: the others MAY be no more difficult to crack
than the 16C84/16F84.  There are no WIDELY-KNOWN easy cracks for the OTP
chips, and there MAY be no KNOWN easy cracks for them period.  But since
I am not privy to all that goes into those chips there's no way to say for
sure.
