I guess you need the 16C556; it should be strictly compatible excluding
EEPROM, but has more RAM ;-)
In my country, the OTP version is only slightly cheaper than the F84 so I
would hesitate to replace (F84 is fine. I plan in all my applications with
F84 the ISP connector so I don't need to remove the IC when reprogram
[even not to dispose it as with OTP] ).

 a direct replacement for the 16F84? Excluding the EEPROM of course. From what I
 know the 16C54 and the 16C56 look promising. Am I wrong? Thanks in advance!
