Quite true, sorry if I put the wind up anyone. I'm not certain what
that will mean in practical terms. Arrow NZ show no interest in
stocking the PDIP (OTS anyway). I'm guessing that regular users
of 10F would get a couple of PDIP as samples for prototyping as
you say but use the SMT for actual products. It shouldn't be too
hard for the average person to put a 6-pin SMT on an 8-pin PDIP
footprint either and make their own unpluggable 10F
