    This is a load of BS.  The lowly PIC54, in die form, in "real"
    qualtities, is cheaper than $0.50 .

I suspected that motorola picked their definition of "large quantities"
very carefully :-)  Do you really consider a die to still be OTP?

It's extremely clear that microchip's 12c508 focusses more effort on
reducing system cost - it's the only chip I know of with an on-chip
calibrated clock.

    What other micros are priced under a Buck US$ in quantities?     I

Digikey's lowest price was on one of the Z8 familly, I think.

    Surely there is some asian foundry
    still hammering out 4 bitters for a few pennies each?

Not OTP...
