Thanks for all the replies!  :)

The first of my thinking was could I program it, which is a likely with=20
the Epic programmer, but the OTP, and these are  not windowed, which I=20
hadn't picked up on by getting into the data sheet, which was next on=20
the agenda is a NO GO. with only 4 chips, I likely would use those up in=20
fine tuning the programming.   I do have a bunch of other chips=20
including 18F84, 16C711/UW (windowed), 18F1320 to choose from. Might try=20
for same pinout as 18F1320 for what few pins I need.

If someone in the USA could use these 4 pieces 12C671/P, I'll stick them=20
in a first class mail envelope, send me an address off list. :)

Thanks again!  :) :)
