Hi Sean,

Yes, all the features I listed were directly from the datasheet.  I know the
preliminary uC datasheets can have their share of errors (I've already found
some in this one), but I wouldn't expect one that severe - heh, heh!  I will
have my first chance to play with them on Monday or Tuesday, and will be
trying out the A/D very quickly.  I'll report on anything interesting that I
run across.

Datasheet:
http://www.microchip.com/1000/pline/picmicro/category/embctrl/8kbytes/device
s/12f675/8473/index.htm

I'm pretty sure it also mentioned "self programmable," but I couldn't find
the reference when I posted the last message.  So perhaps we'll see if
anyone can write a useful bootloader for a PIC with 1k of code memory!

I remember the first time I saw one of the 8-pin PICs at a uC seminar, and
thinking, WOW -- a whole little computer system the size of a 555, and no
external parts required!  I'm sure glad they finally have Flash parts
available.

If anyone wants a few, I'm selling them in singles at $1.68US, vs. DigiKey
at $2.08US (but they don't have any).  I can't beat the "big boys" in larger
quantities, but in small quantities it's a different story.  Shipping is
very reasonable, and I also have 18Fx52, 16F870, 16F877A, 16F628-20/P
($2.88), 16F84A-20/P etc.  Not trying to turn this into an ad, but since the
16F675 availability is still pretty spotty, I thought I'd at least mention a
hobbyist-friendly source that presently has some available.  I hope that
isn't out of line on the list -- I haven't posted very much here yet, and
don't want to start out by breaking any rules.

I've been reading the thread on the PBK "designer" project you all are
working on with great interest!  Sounds like I will want to buy one too when
it's available.....

Randy
