        Well I've had a similar experience with my home made 16C84 programmer. I
made an adapter to program 16F877 parts and all of a sudden it wouldn't work
any more. Turns out that the problem was the SOFTWARE!?? The later revision
of the software (winPIC I believe) I was using no longer worked with my
programmer. I switched to Pic-Prog and my problems were gone. I figure my
programmer IS marginal and pic-prog is just a little more forgiving. TTYL
