Is this possible on earlier F parts such as 16F84 or only with the newer
ones (16F87x, 16F62x etc)?

If 14-bit reads of program memory can be done on the 16F84, I can save a TON
of code space on a project that I'm currently working on.


Regarding the 16F627/628: The data sheet looks great but are these parts
really available for purchase yet? Neither the Digikey online catalog nor
the Microchip online store indicates that they are. (The status on them
elsewhere on the Microchip site has them listed as "New Device".)

Thanks, Bob
