I would have thought that ANY 16C84 programmer would work just fine with a
16F84 part. The only difference is the power up timer bit, which has to be
inverted for the 16F84. The code protect bits are another small difference,
in that more bits are set with the F84, that usually wouldn't cause a
problem though.

I could have swore I saw New Software on David Tait's Web Page
for the F84.

I am new to the world of PIC so please excuse any dumb questions...

I have a MAPLIN PIC 16C84 programmer (designed by David Tait).  I
understand
that Microchip no longer supply the 16C84 as it now replaced by the 16F84.

Is it possible to modify this programmer to cope with the 16F84.  If so
could
anyone suggest where I might find details of such a modification and any
other related information.

Thanks,
