I found an interesting discussion about this very subject - it starts off sounding scarily different but by the end of the thread the conclusion seems to be that they are compatible.

The suggestion that the 'A' version exludes the internal termination resistors seems unfounded, given that they are shown on Buggies's image from the datasheet for the AP version. I'd still appreciate a show of hands to go with the one from buggies though.

What are the ones actually fitted? MC3446N?
