Yes. High voltage programming can set the flash and data EEPROM in an F part to any valid state, regardless of what it was set to before. Of course this assumes the programmer implements the proper algorithms to achieve this. ***************************************************************** Embed Inc, embedded system specialists in Littleton Massachusetts (978) 742-9014, http://www.embedinc.com -- http://www.piclist.com#nomail Going offline?
