The MDT parts are pin compatible and have the same functionality, but 
have their own instruction set and are not source or binary compatible 
with any PIC. MDT do provide a utility function in their programmer that 
will allow you to convert a PIC binary into the MDT format.

So why are the MDT parts called clones, fakes and pirates while the 
binary compatible, directly interchangeable Scenix parts were an 
example of American ingenuity ?
