Hi.
Noone have ever mentioned EPROMs in this thread. Where
did they come from ?

The actual context was the 12Fxxx PICs compaired with the
*other* Flash PICs. I didn't know there was any differens
(in this regard).

I still think that is a statement based on a missunderstanding
of the 12Fxxx data sheet. I don't think the 12F's are any
different then any other (modern) Flash PICs in this regards
(the need for a high voltage source/signal to use HVP).

Or are they ?
