Hi there!

I have been making my own home PIC programmer. The hardware seems to be OK
and now I am in the process of writing the software. So far I have managed to
read the program memory and the EE memory from a PIC 16C84.

However, I have not been able to read the ID locations and the configuration
word. During my last attempt I did the following:

1. Send Load Configuration command.
2. Send Read Data from Program Memory Command.
3. Read 8 bytes of data.

What I got was a string of 3FFFs. I have examined the data sheets and there is not
a specific command to read the configuration area. That's why I tried the above.

Can any one of you gurus out there give me a helping hand? It would be really
appreciated.

Have a Happy New Year.
