Cheers, that's a pretty comprehensive document with better
information on ID locations. Some of it is starting to make
sense now. For one thing, MPLAB's help seems to be wrong.
After a read you cannot examine ID locations by viewing Program
Memory because the addressing simply doesn't go that high. The
read ID does appear in the Configure/ID Memory dialogue,
although I've still to sort out the scrambling due to protection status
of the checksum. That info is in the ICSP pdf, but I've yet to read it
thoroughly. Some reference could/should have been made to it
in the basic manual, but you know, gripe gripe gripe ;-) Even though
Microchip encourage people to submit suggestions to the manuals
they are never perfect. Errors do get corrected but then something
that was OK gets botched. It's almost like they've got a quota ;-)
