I'd call it "superceded" rather than "obsolete" (which seems to have
an emotional or judgemental connotation). The F84 is still widely
available at any sales level and probably will be for some time. It's
still a perfectly good micro after all for a lot of applications. Don't
many Smart Cards use the F84 ?

But personally I don't use it for new designs because it's not as
sophisticated as newer PICs, and is relatively expensive

Oh, and good luck with your project
