Hi Fratello,

You are not the first person to mention this about this chip or that chip. I am just curious about the hardships of getting a part as old as the PIC16F648A in quantity? I can see it being a hardship if you can't get it at the local vendor, and don't want to order abroad for low numbers. But is it really that hard (or expensive) to get them by 25 or more? It sounds like your project is going to be marketed.

Maybe I am just spoiled by being able to get things from any country, pretty easily.

Again, just curious. Not doubting you, just wondering "easier to get" means.
