I noticed that in somewhere either in the WARP-13 software or maybe
MPLAB.. maybe both.. there is a setting to program the entire chip or
just the part needed.. my gues is that somewhere these settings are
enabled differently either mplab or the warp-13 program) and that is
what is taking a long time.. also if you program the EEprom data it will
take a little longer.. w/ my 4k code it doesn't take NEARLY 2 minutes to
program a 877 with the warp-13 software.. I'm a happy customer..
