Is this an appropriate newsgroup to submit questions regarding PICs?
I haven't been able to find any newsgroups listed as such that are

Definitely. This is the place.
Only if you are willing to ask the same question in an auditorium full
of 500 experienced engineers.
OK, thanks. I'm overwhelmed by the response.
First question.
I want to use a real time clock for my application. I want to make the
thing as cheaply as possible so I am looking for the lowlyest (??) PIC I
can use. I have my sights set on the 12C508A.
What I want to do is use two pins for the RT clock, two for controlling
an external device, and two for communicating with the PIC from an
external terminal service, yet to be determined.
I know I may not have enough program space to do this, but I'm just
starting.
At any rate, what I want to know is this. A real time clock chip like
the NJU6355 has three pins, CE, a clock and a data I/O. Can I do a
hardware CE and still have full functionality of the RT clock using just
the clock and I/O pins?
What would your hardware CE be? It must determine the I/O direction
for the PIC to handle it properly. By the way, why can't you implement
the RTC inside the PIC?
As you can see, I run out of PIC pins if I can't.
