Sorry on the lousy schematic, I copied it from a PDF then into word.  I
printed it and thought, oh not so good on the resolution.

Some other results from last night....that points to some wierd hardware
setup on the board that I can't seem to find...yet.

I took my toys and went home, where I plugged the target chip into another
board that had a PLCC socket and RJ11 interface, and of course it worked
fine, eliminating the possiblitly that the new board was somehow killing the
chips (a pretty far fetched idea, but can't overlook anything)

I brought in today my old ICD1 interface so I'm going to see what it might
tell me, but probably the same thing.

I am running the system under USB, have tried with and without the wallwart
supply, no difference


As suggested, perhaps the pinouts are wrong, but of course that was the
first thing I checked.


header #      F877 pin
1                 Vss (gnd)
2                 Vdd (+5)
3                  Vpp (10K pup to Vdd)
4                 RB7
5                 RB6
6                 RB3


ICD setups are identical for the good targer vs the bad target.  I've ohmed
out for shorts to ground,etc.

Next, I tied an external 5V supply to the board, measured to make sure it
was correct, and when I read the Target Vdd, it reads only 1.9V

Just wierd....
