Hi Ed,

My MegaMax programmer maybe similar to your TopMax
programmer, and I have to manually tell it to program the config
fuses. Even if I hit the "Auto" button, it programs an verifies OK but
does not program the config bits untill I tell it to. Try it in the circuit
and it just doesn't do anything, go back to the programmer and burn
the config fuses and it's all go! This has caught me out heaps of
times, usually when I have been programming 8051's for ages and
forget what I have to do with PICs. I have nominated it to go on the
100 factoids about PICs list.
