Hi there

    The difference I remember is the fuse bits are backwards - If you are programming a F series with a 'C' programmer, invert the WDT bit (SET = WDT off) and vice versa. No other things have changed

Subject:        16C84 vs. 16F84

As I understand it the 16C84 and 16F84 are essentially the same chip,
but I have not had much success using 16C84 code directly on a 16F84.
Can someone please answer the following questions..
1) What are the differences?
2) Can a program written for 16C84 be used *EXACTLY* as is for the
16F84,
      including assembler instructions and memory address references?
3) If answer to #2 is *NO* what modifications are necessary.
THANKS!
