The logic is very strong. 12 chips are 8-pin (12 or 14 bit core), so it stands to reason that 6-pin chips should be 10 :) > And why make a new chip using the old 12-bit core ?

Depends on how big the chip is. With 256 instructions and 16 bytes RAM paging and banking is a non-issue. So it seems Jal will have to continue to support the 12-bit core after all.
