Can this chip do any ROM check that meets >UL1998 at all? How do I tell which chip can do or cannot? It must be able to read program memory. In Microchip's line, that is only a small number. 16F8** series, and some other expensive ones (18xx, 17Cxx), plus there is a lone member of the 16C family that has an add-on barnacle to cover this problem (don't remember which one or ones). This is from memory, it might be wrong, out of date, or incomplete, I have no need to keep track of such things from day to day. Best regards, Spehro Pefhany --"it's the network..."
