One step forward, next wall.

I can now program a 16f87xA, but I can't get it to run on any
combination of xtal (1..20 MHz) and caps (solderless breadbord only,
22pF, 42pF) that I tried :(

Note that a plain 16f877 did run on each of those combinations (with
exactly the same program), and that the -A with an external oscillator
runs OK.

Any suggestions?
