Hi, Peter

i got a similar problem for this chip half year ago here in austria.
They told me, that it has been superceeded by the 16C711-04/P type
which i am using since.

But be aware, there are minor diffrencest between the new and the old
type:

- 1st it has 68 byte RAM :-)) which is really useful
- 2nd it has only 2 delay cycles for interrupt handling instead of 3

as i am doing software PWM in this project, i had to correct my interrupt
timing to get proper output with the new chip.

Cheers
Reini R.
