I got a rail of 60 pcs 12f675 I/P last week and my disti (Arrow) could have
supplied as many as I wanted.  I don't see the usual beta markings on these
- I'm assuming that means these are the real McCoy and available right
now.  Same specs as above, except 8 pins.

MPLAB 5.72 does not support the 12f67x parts yet but Microchip emailed me a
beta that adds the missing DLLs and updates the MPLAB device list, along
with version 3.00.07 of the PS+ firmware.

I found a few things that seemed unclear in the data sheet but Microchip
tech support answered all my questions in short order and I'll be
delivering my first prototypes with this part in a couple of days.

Side note: I haven't needed to talk to Microchip tech support for several
years now and had forgotten just quick those guys are when it comes to
answering questions.  I'm *seriously* impressed!
