Thanks everyone for your input. Turns out that if I had read the errata for the part, they tell you not to use one of the new instructions (LFSR) that the migration document for 16-series to 18-series parts does tell you to use! Using the LFSR instruction through a loop to copy characters from a buffer to an LCD, the first instance would move the LOCATION of the buffer to the display, not the CONTENTS of the buffer, but all subsequent characters would display properly. The strange thing is that this anomaly doesn't show up in the emulator, only in the programmed part. But, replacing the new LFSR instruction with the old standby: MOVLW HIGH(REG) MOVWF FSR0H MOVLW LOW(REG) MOVWF FSR0L seems to have fixed the problem. -Mark At 10:07 AM 3/7/02 -0600, you wrote: > >Does anyone know of any "gotchas" as far as differences between a > >windowed 18C452 and the ICE-2000 module? > >This is my first 18-series work, and everything works fine using the > >ICE-2000, but it doesn't run with a programmed part.
