What is your source for 2313's?  Are these SOIC packages?  30 days before we
started production on a new product, we had to do a crash redesign because
we were quoted 9 month lead times on this part.  We are now using a readily
available PIC.  I've started thinking that Atmel is a clone of Motorola when
it comes to parts availability, but maybe the problem is with my distributor
(All American).
