Good morning, everyone, I am using IC-prog and pic programmer-2 for my pic16f873. And I failed to burn my chip. IC-prog said "varify failed at address 000h". And I don't know what ID value means on the far south side of program. the default value is ffff. Does it cause this error message? I set the hardware pic16f873 from the beginning. My programmer is connected to com2. The interest thing is the program seems to read data from chip even though the chip wasn't connected to serial port. Does anyone have an idea? thanks in advance. --chunhee
