Hi Dave,

I'm sure the 16F88 is a very good device and I will definately be using it in a design that I am working on at the moment. My disappointment was not with the features of the device but the fact that several dedicated hardware pins have shifted places from the 16F628 that I already use meaning that an easy upgrade to a bootloadable device want possible.

If the hardware pins for existing features had been kept compatible with the 16F628 then it would have been just perfect. For new designs it doesnt really matter where the pins are but when you already have PCB's designed and in use then it does become an issue.

Regards
