Guys our production group have just purchased a Promate II programmer, we
purchased just one device adapter (the AC164012) to suit the DIP F877
devices. We were planning on using an inhouse made PLCC adapter for the
'F877s & 'F874s that we use currently on our Picstart +. It just has the 5
or so programming pins connected.

We were also hoping to use the same adapter to program some 16F84s.

We have tried programming some 'F874s in our adapter (plugged into
microchips dip adapter) with no success - the error message is "Code
Partially Protected".

We are not currently setting the code protection bit.

Has anyone any similar experience who may have some ideas on what may be
causing our problems.

best regard
