Does anyone know of a change recently to the way 16C54-RC/P accepts
programming? I used to buy these all the time and set the oscillator bit to
XT and never had a problem but the last batch of 100 is causing me some
problems.  I use parallax programming tools and the setup bits are in the
file so unless I accidently changed it to LP I'm pretty sure I programmmed
and verified them correctly.  After programming the 100 pieces I even recall
putting in one from an earlier run and reverified it.  I shipped them to the
assembler and he indicated that none of them seemed to work.  Had them sent
back to me and they show that the device is set for LP as an oscillator
type. Before I give up and say it's operator error I thought I'd ask the
group if you knew of any change in the way things operate.

The way I figure it ... in order of most likely to have occurred

1.  I goofed and hit the 'O' key and advance the Oscillator tyoe to LP
2.  My Parallax programmer let me down
3.  Microchip changed something and things don't work the same as they used to.

Just thought I ask before I rebuy parts.

Thanks
Larry
