SV: [Icc-avr] Data table question

[Bengt Ragnemalm]

Is it the size or the pin numbers you need? They will not be pin compatible
you know? If it is just size, there are packages that are much smaller than
a 8 pin DIL even if they have a lot more pins. The MLF package is the
smallest and there are both PIC:s and AVR:s with it. Of course I would use
an AVR but if it is a PIC project it may be smarter to stay with a PIC and
be able to reuse the old code.
