>I can't believe the lazy way Microchip *added* EEPROM memory to their >8 pin mcus. Due to the secure nature???!!!! Come on!!!! This is very true, and it works quite well. They've been doing this for SEVERAL years. I have an old windowed part (in a wide 28 pin DIP) which had a 16C54 and a 24C00 in it. You see both parts under the window. Works great.
