Hi,
to end this thread I will share my findings:
In the MPLAB-ICD User manual, the example listed
is indeed correct, however the example at Mchip's site
is not. So what we have here is an confusion of what
I was looking for. I wanted an exemple of WORKING code that
I could test the ICD/Demo board with. ( DEMO877.ASM )
But what I found at the Mchip's site was an 'tutorial'( TUT877.ASM )
with an intentional 'broken' program. Is it only me,
but should't this be clearly stated in the header of that program, that
it indeed is 'broken' ? Yep discepancies in naming should have ranged
a bell but, I let it slip. And also these 'two' programs have an
exact match ( except for that one line ) so its not easily spotted at
the first glance.

Anyway, checked the 'tutorial' code more closely and
within 30 seconds I spotted the 'error':

Was:                    movlw   B'01000000'     ;Fosc/8, A/D enabled (
Really it's not !!!!!  ;-) )
                        movwf   ADCON0

Should be:      movlw   B'01000001'     ;Fosc/8, A/D enabled ( yep )
                movwf   ADCON0

So sorry to bother you all in this 'trivial' quest,
I have it all sorted out now, will stand in an corner for
a while ( with an pointy hat ) :-).

Thanks,


/Tony
