Sorry I left out a key word in my drowsiness. Programmer. I need the device to
program the chip. I can buy PIC16C84's for $6.50 each but I saw some
programming units going for $3000. I have since started building one from the
directions provided by Microchip. The article is on their web site, article
an589. I estimate the cost of this project under $10. Thank you to all those
that recommended it. What extra functionality am I missing out by not having
the expensive programmer?
