Seems they've gotten most of the problems worked out, finally, other than the Dx-write endurance. 1000 rewrites is still enough though, and supposedly, the Dx-series parts meet the original (10k) spec at room temperature, just not over the whole temperature range (explaining why the problem had not been noticed for over a year)

See [the discussion topic, which quotes Microchip support](https://github.com/SpenceKonde/megaTinyCore/discussions/735) as saying that it likely effects all parts with a TCB. (this was some time ago, and it's not been seen on errata lists, though)

* If flash is not erased prior to a write, the value in flash following the write is the bitwise and of the previous value and the value written. Hence writing 0xFF to the irrelevant bytes. This (writing all 1's to an unerased byte to leave it unchanged) works on just about any flash memory that has a separate page erase command, as it's based on the physical constraints on solid state memory.

My only thought here is "If SPM instruction requires word aligned access, why not just require writes to be word addressed, and then you could forget about rampz except for the sole case of ELPM, and everone's life would be simpler". I would have no objection to losing ST/STS writes to the flash if it meant that I could take RAMPZ out of the equation while writing to the flash. Hell, imagine if ELPM assumed RAMPZ = 1 and LPM to assume RAMPZ = 0, and all the headaches caused by RAMPZ would be gone!

### UPDI programming issue with 16-bit STS after 24-bit STptr (Datasheet should be clarrified)
168
173
On parts which use 24-bit addressing, 16-bit addressing should not be used for STS operations. The results are profoundly baffling - the long and short of it is: See the table in the UPDI chapter, titled `Figure xx-10: STS Instruction Operation`? Cross out the top two lines. If STptr has been used with a 24-bit pointer (which you normally do to write the flash), if a subsequent STS doesn't use the 24-bit address, it will use the high byte from ptr! This behavior is apparently intended and expected, but that isn't communicated to the reader of the datasheet.
