  I've just checked the datasheet (Maxim MAX6953) and I don't see a 
JEDEC number in there anywhere.  I am now officially confused. =)

  I suppose I could sit down and draw it, but I understand there's a 
fancy way to use the M4 stuff to generate a whole family at once based 
on certain parameters...that'd be far better I think.  As I recall, 
that was the method you used about a year ago to generate the SOJ 
package family for me, wasn't it?
