The EasyProg programmed a full (all locations filled with random values) 16F88 in 14.1 seconds and an empty one (all locations specified as the erased state) in 9.7 seconds. Both these times included verification passes at two Vdd levels. Therefore even 30 seconds is twice as slow as it should be. ***************************************************************** Embed Inc, embedded system specialists in Littleton Massachusetts (978) 742-9014, http://www.embedinc.com -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
