I've never seen anything like that in the 16 series parts but then again, I've missed a lot stuff hidden in Microchip docs. :=) Regards, Bob -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways.

Oh, OK, thanks Tony. I thought my Picstart was broken. I have not used it in a long while and was getting the same problems with read etc. on a 12C671 and firmware 2.01 and MPlab 5.30. It did program the chip though. Guess I have to upgrade. :) Quentin K|bek Tony wrote: > Then I had additional problems with the Picstart+ support.
