I appreciate that this is an odd question to ask on a PIC list, but
why did you opt for that part if you need to go to external memory ?

An expanded 17C part seems to me to be all economically wrong with
the port pins you loose, twice as many chips for external memory and
just the two instructions for getting at program code space. I would
expect that updating a flash with it would become quite a task
(compared to more mainstream micros).

I don't have any problem with people sticking to an architecture they
are familiar with. If that's the reason, that's fine. If this part
was chosen from a choice of many, I'd be interested in why.
