Are you picking on the 28/40 pin discrepancy? My guess is that it means there's a '876 in the works (same die, why not?!).\ I think the Vref- is an interesting thing to make compatible, though!

Jim, Just got a quote back on the '876 part - $8.64 for 20K, vs. 9.51 for the '877. Guess my hunch was right!

Are you picking on the 28/40 pin discrepancy? My Yes. http://www.microchip.com/10/Lit/PICmicro/16F87X/index.htm See 16F873/4 (I also noticed the A/D is spec'ed at 8-bits???) I would have be willing to take the time to email the webmaster but given the 17C42 is still described as having a 8x8 multiply... (http://www.microchip.com/10/Lit/PICmicro/17C4X/index.htm) ...over a year after I informed uChip that it doesn't, why bother... >guess is that it means there's a '876 in the works (same die, why not?!).\ The information on the '876 was already posted when I made my observation. Anyway, some private email from uChip tells me that the system is being changed. Soon the person responsible for his/her area will be able to effect changes on the web pages. Hopefully this will mean that if I take the time to offer feedback, someone will be eager to act. >I think the Vref- is an interesting thing to make compatible, though!
