That's the problem - it is processor specific.  We were using a Zilog part
IIRC and the manufacturuer gave us specific advice on each pin.


With unused inputs you can only pull them up or down.  I would suggest you try
each one each way in turn and measure the resultant current.  You could post
the results here as I am sure there are others who would be interested.

One other tip, to reduce current on our project we took advantage of the fact
that current draw is dependent on oscillator frequency.  We ended up running
at about 10KHz and achieved a 5 year life from an alkaline PP3.
