Do the configuration bits vary much between PIC16C74A and PIC16F628? and ar=
e
there any other major changes that need to be made to code for a PIC16C74A
to be used on a PIC16F628?

        A serial port cannot supply that much current, however it is enough=

for a
PIC.

        Try looking up Father McGee's UART example, it's about the best one=

out
there. TTYL
