Im not sure why, but the 818/819 are still mentioned as 'future poduct'
at the uChip site, yet I could buy them from my supplier without much
delay. If you want a few: I sell them at
http://www.voti.nl/shop/products.html. If you want a lot you'd better
contact your regular supplier. My Wisp628 does program these chips (of
course the protocol is slightly diffrenet rom previous chips - you can
trust uChip to do so), but I occasionaly have problems when /MCLR is
configured as Input pin.

BTW one drawback compared to a 628: no UART. And note that the default
internal frequency is 32 kHz, but the program itself (!) can switch it
(up to 8 MHz!).
