Hello all, today I stumbled on an ad in the "Asiansources - electronic components" journal. A company called G-Alantic Enterprise offers Microcontrollers, and they give PIC 16C54, 55, 56, 57 and 16C711 as compatible products, stating that these controllers are 100% compatible with PICs. Their Website is at www.g-alantic.com.tw. Anyone ever tested these? Do they work as good and reliable as PICs? Are they priced competitively?
