Hi again,

I just want to thank all the guys who
provided info about the 16C54 & 16C57
when programmed via PICSTART+ instead
of PICSTART-16B.

'Phew! It was a dumb question but it
was a good thing I asked - for some
reason I had it it in my mind that the
plastic-DIPs could be electrically
erased like the the 16F84. Ah, but
they're EPROMs and, without a window,
they're OTP.

Wasn't it one of your (US) presidents
who said something like, "If you keep
your mouth shut folks will think
you're an idiot, but if you open it
they'll know for sure"?

I'll  get the JWs "just in case" -
sometimes the customer wants minor
changes to the gizmo's function and
I'd  be up a tree if that happened
with OTPs

Regards - PJH
