How do I tell which chip can do or cannot? The chips that don't have an instruction to read the program memory cannot do a complete ROM check. I think that includes all of the 12Cxx and 16C5X parts, and most of the 16Cxx parts. Some but not all of the 16Fxx parts can do it, mostly the larger parts like 16F87x. -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways.
