For the last couple of months whenever I've gone to Active they only
     had the 509 device, OTP and windowed, but you got my attention - I
     didn't realize there was a difference in the FSR between the 508 and
     the 509.  Could you elaborate?


     TIA - Martin.

Martin,

Active Components at Victoria Park and Gordon Baker do stock the windowed
12C508, but they seem to sell out of them quickly (to buy five, I had to go
three times - for my application, I couldn't use a 12C509 because of the
differences in the FSR register).

Give them a call (498-9886) and they'll reserve some for you, or at least
tell you how many they have on hand or when they're getting more.

They cost around $12 (CAN).
