Hello, Just a quick query. Before the 16c84 was superseded by the 'f84 I had bought quite a few 84's. These have found there way into a number of projects. I still have a few left. I was programming one this morning. Admittedly it has seen a lot of write cycles, but nowhere near the quoted minimum. I can read the program memory, but it won't allow a write of the program memory. The data eeprom and config fuses can be read and written. Has anyone else experienced early demise of these parts? Admittedly they are superseded, but just out of interest. Cheers JD
