It's a different programming algoritm.

Hello All, I've seen messages asking for differences between the "normal" (16F84) and the "A" versions. In respect to to coding there seems not to have changed anything. But I've got a problem in transferring the code to the controller (programming). I can program a normal 16F84, but a 16F84A will aport within a few (0 thru 50) cycles with an error. Even stranger, when I mov= ed the programmer to another computer, all went Allright ... My programmer is a minimalistic one, connected to the printerport. The digital pulses on the controller itself are therefore quite ugly (rounded-off). Because of the Schmitt-trigger inputs of the 16F84 on RB6= & RB7 this did not pose a problem. But I'm getting the vague idea that the 16F84A is missing those (the Schmitt-trigger input's on the Data & Clock inputs) ... Can anyone substanciate my suspicions ?
