The only oscillator type that can be > reprogrammed to all of the others is RC. Slight correction: HS mode can be left as-is or programmed to LP. XT mode can be left as-is or programmed to LP. LP mode cannot be reprogrammed. Also note: A device programmed for HS mode will work fine with a 4MHz crystal; it will use more current than an XT-mode programmed device but may start more reli- ably. Most programmeers will refuse to program an HS-fused device if the fuse settings in the hex file specify XT (change the hex file to HS). While any device may be programmed for LP mode, only the LC devices are rated for the lowest voltages that LP mode makes possible. Some devices, such as the 16C84, have fairly high minimum voltage specs even at 32KHz (except in LC versions).
