Follow up on the 94 series: available from Microchip Direct for about $5. Regarding the adapters from Melabs, I would assume they are pinned out for the non V-bat devices, if so maybe the company would spin the board again with a revision to the V-bat devices. Maybe many of the core files of non V's and V's are the same. Anyway, "Whats with all this V stuff anyway?" I'm getting deep sleepy is all I can say. enjoy
