OKay... After some poking around, I found this...
I have been able to verify, but IIRC, we used to be able to have U1a, U1b etc for different slots within the same device.
Trying that anew today. It doesn't work. Netlist doesn't recognize them as the same, and neither does PCB. I think something changed.
Can someone verify that I am remembering correctly.
You are remembering correctly. From the PCB documentation ---
If a NAME ends with a lower-case letter, all lower-case letters are stripped from the end of the NAME to determine the matching layout-name name. For example:
Data U1-3 U2abc-4 FLOP1a-7 Uabc3-A9
specifies that the net called "Data" should have pin 3 of U1 connected to pin 4 of U2, to pin 7 of FLOP1 and to pin A9 of Uabc3. Note that element name and pin number strings are case-sensitive. It is up to you to name the elements so that their layout-name names agrees with the netlist.
