Hello. I'm having just the same problem as you. I have the
picstart16b1 and I need software which is compatible with the
hardware from picstart16b1 and this software must be able to write to
the eeprom memory on the pic16c84 chip. If you get the solution to
this problem, please mail me. Or if you get the software that works
with the picstart16b1... or any info at all... please mail me.

PS! I got the program Promate 3000 which has support for the eeprom
programming, but I don't know for sure if it's compatible with the
picstart16b1  hardware device. But another 'but' is that this program
has an option called 'Download Firmware'..... So there is a
possibility that this could make the program compatible with the
hardware. I have sent email to Microchip about this, but I haven't
recived any answer from them........

Hope we could share some information on this.......
