Hi all,

Forget the last post. I had an intermitent contact on the VDD leg of the
16F877. Still very strange though. I can write, read and verify perfectly on
16F84s but 16F877s won't work.
It will now let me program the chip but when I read it, it appears to have
filled everything with '000'. At least its a change from '3FF'. Also I can
only program the chip if I erase it first. Perhaps code protection is being
activated?? It sure shouldn't be.....
I think I might build a Tait parallel port programmer. At least then I'll be
able to use MP-LAB and program simultaneoulsy rather than doing a
Windows/Linux switch everytime....

Ben
