This is going to be a really neat part. There is no information about on
the Web site just yet. My understanding is that the official data sheet
will be released in July along with the official announcement of the part.
I asked for a preliminary data sheet (after the FAE at the mchip seminar
said that they're available) but was denied the request (after the mchip
internal guys said no way til July). Bummer. But as a consolation, I did
get a copy of the instruction set details (e.g. opcodes). gpasm will
hopefully have support for the 18Cxxx hopefully soon after the part is
officially announced. BTW, If you ask someone at mchip, maybe you can get
the instruction set too. Please don't ask me because I can't give it to
you...
