apparently I need the latest version of mplab to have it recognize the 18F452. I'm using 5.11. microchip's web site appears to be down, and I'm in a bit of a rush - anyone know where else I can download this from? Thanks for any help. -- http://www.piclist.com#nomail Going offline? Don't AutoReply us! email listserv@mitvma.mit.edu with SET PICList DIGEST in the body
