You say that the fact that the 16F767 and the 777 are sharing the same ID isn't a (major) problem (if they, from the programmers point of view, are the "same"). Fine. Then you say that the fact that the 767 reads an ID that is documented to be a 777 is an error, right ? Isn't that a contradiction in a way ? If they *do* share ID, how could you use the ID to separate them ? Just trying to learn here... :-) Jan-Erik. -- http://www.piclist.com hint: PICList Posts must start with ONE topic: [PIC]:,[SX]:,[AVR]: ->uP ONLY! [EE]:,[OT]: ->Other [BUY]:,[AD]: ->Ads
