I thought you were taking about the programmer, not the target chip. There didn't seem to be a programming specification anywhere. Hold on a virtual minute and let me see if I can find out... OK I'm back and I found it here: http://cat.pinnacle.com.tw/ic/emc/8bit/other/PROGRAM%20TIMING.pdf The short answer is no. The programming pinout and algorithm is completely different that the standard microchip one. BTW these only seem to be OTP. Mike, do you know if they have a windowed part that's eraseable. I'd guess that this part myst be extremely price sensitive if it's worth taking a look at. Can you give a cost estimate? BAJ -- http://www.piclist.com#nomail Going offline?
