> The motor control parts are modified variants of existing parts, with
the addition of the motor control kernel. As a result they share device
id's with other parts and have similar programming specifications.

The stupid bastards! These parts have less flash memory, so for instance
duplicating a chip has to be done differently, just like the difference
between a 16F628A and a 16F648A and various other twins and triples in
the PIC family. This must be a clever idea of the same guy who invented
the PIC numbering scheme (12 is for 12/14-bit core 8-pin chips, 16 is
for >8 pin 12-bit and 14-bit cores, makes perfect sense, doesn't it? I
bet they never released an 8-pin 16-bit core chip because they could not
decide whether it should be a 12F or an 18F chip) and the 12-bit core
call address format (you want to call a subroutine anywhere in memory?
why on earth would you want that?).
