Imre, Did you find a source of 16F877? I went to a Microchip seminar today (in New Zealand ) and they were handing out what they said were alpha-versions of the chip one per attendee. Code on top is 9915B3P - how old is that (where'd I put that recent release re new date codes :-)) They also discussed the coming PIC 18xxx family - presumably they have been doing this at other meeting recently. If not then I suppose I will be inundated. I haven't looked at the MChip website lately - is information on this new line generally available?
