Hiding in plain sight?
Wishing to learn more about DSM, I looked for the 08M2 Datasheet and could not locate such.
Where would I find it?
The forum moderators and top posters are ***unbelievably*** patient of those who refuse to pre-study before asking an "oft" answered question.
Out of respect for your tolerance (and a personal fear that the answer will be embarrassingly simple), please know, I actually did look. Detail below.
Many thanks,
Terry

Page 16 of the Manual Ver 7.7, provides this cross reference to the Microchip P/Ns.
PICAXE Type Engraving on top of chip
• PICAXE-08M2 PICAXE-08M2+
• PICAXE-14M2 PICAXE-14M2
• PICAXE-18M2 PICAXE-18M2
• PICAXE-20M2 PICAXE-20M2
• PICAXE-20X2 PIC18F14K22
• PICAXE-28X1 PIC16F886
• PICAXE-28X2 PIC18F25K22
• PICAXE-40X1 PIC16F887
• PICAXE-40X2 PIC18F45K22
...as does page 1 of the X2 product brief referring to the new base chips for the X2 release.

So for all items except the M2s, finding the relevant Microchip D/S is straightforward.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The bottom of page 1 for the "PICAXE-M2 Information" states:
The M2 parts are new custom parts factory manufactured by Microchip Inc. solely
for Revolution Education and so are factory engraved with the full PICAXE-M2 name.

This would explain why there are no returns on the Microchip site for the term "08M2" or "DSM".
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Using the tag engraved on my 08M2s, "T241116" also returned nothing on MC's site. Batch number?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Searching inside PE Ver 5.4.0 provided no information. Screen shot attached....
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Searching "Digital Signal Multiplexor" in Google returned:
"Did you mean: "Digital Signal Multiplexer"
and a link to this post.
Searching ""Digital Signal Multiplexer" Microchip" returned 5 hits of little value.
