True, BUT why is it not documented? There is no trace of 0x65 or 0x66 in th=
e
docs for 16f62x, nor in any docs of their relatives. I so love to find east=

eggs in silicon (<- sarcasm). Anyway I have been around for long enough to=

have used the original pics with trisa and trisb opcodes, yet, I was not
aware that the feature made its way into 16 bit core pics? I was unable to
find a single datasheet referring to this.

More importantly, are there any other easter eggs to be found? Perhaps rela=

to undocumented debugging mode and/or ice? I am especially concerned about =
code
theft from protected devices and about glitches in operation unleashing som=
e
operation which I did not foresee in the state machines I code.
