It can factor expressions with polynomials involving any number of vaiables as well as more complex functions. Or maybe the manufacturer could just add perforations across the chip between the pins and we could just snap off what we don't need.

I brought up this idea in someone else's thread, so I'm bringing it up here instead of continuing to de-rail theirs.

This does bring up a question though, should unused pins be left as is or should they be set as inputs or outputs, outputs high or low or pulled up? I think there's probably a natural limit for capabilities on all microcontrollers for hobbyists, simply because of number of legs and packaging formats.

A polynomial with rational coefficients can sometimes be written as a product of lower-degree polynomials that also have rational coefficients. So as long as you don't rip off any bond wires accidentally cause some short when you cut the package, it will keep running. For cleanliness and clarity, it was decided to no longer allow posts to be made in the actual topic itself. If you can cut six legs off the bottom, it's a reasonable bet you can cut six off the top, leaving an 8-pin lump. Not sure when or what the next speed jump will be and most probably won't want it with a massively increased current draw or needing a heatsink !Feel free to offer corrections or other part numbers with corresponding motor specs prior to the year 2000, and I will update the list! I have seen a few exploded ICs to know that the actual working part of the chip is, as mentioned above, very small and centered so I had an idea that it might actually work. For a lot number with a filling-code such as 05427ES-021, enter it as 05427ES (without the filling-code '-021').

It also multiplies, divides and finds the greatest common divisors of pairs of polynomials; determines values of polynomial roots; plots polynomials; finds partial fraction decompositions; and more. Mmm- this reminds of a NASA 1960s moon shot programming joke (back in a crucially weight dependant era),of essence that only the punched card holes were actually going aloft. Optimized for 4-minute sprint races in which both maximum acceleration and maximum top speed are needed.It's fairly comprehensive thus far, so hopefully this can help those of you who are looking for the general information on these motors. Unfortunately the 14pin 16F1823 has a pretty small memory size and so is not suitable for any type of 'X/X1' status -it just hasn't have the RAM or program memory space (same as existing 14M in fact). After watching Dylan's Hot Shot run around the track in Melbourne last year at the off road enduro I was inspired to get my own 'SHOT' up and going. Outputs should be left unconnected, it's generally recommended good practice to pull-down inputs to 0V, genuinely input-only ( as per hardware on the PICmicro not by definition as PICAXE input pins ) can be connected directly to 0V.
