ATmega103 is being replaced by ATmega128
ATmega161 will be replaced by ATmega162? (has M161C fuse bit...)

Many of the chips are pin-compatible with each other and migration may
only need small software changes, so don't worry too much...

 - 1200, 2313 (nothing new in this family for quite a long time now...)

 - 4433, ATmega8

 - 8515, ATmega161, ATmega162, ATmega8515 (also pin-compatible to many
   '51 chips, except that reset is active low)

 - 8535, ATmega163, ATmega16, ATmega323, ATmega32

 - ATmega103, ATmega128

Hope this helps,
Marek
