Zik, its nice to hear about your work. :) Just to feedback you as another PICs user, I dont use the PIC17xxx series, = and i won't use them either. Zik Saleeba escribi=F3: I've found their site to be dodgy = on quite a few occasions recently. My current project (porting SDCC to every available PIC processor) involves hitting their site a lot since I have to download pretty much every data sheet they have. I'd say it malfunctions about a quarter of the time. While I'm on the subject does anyone use the PIC17xxxx series? I know they're deprecated and they don't seem to be selling any of them any more. Is there any point in doing compiler support for this series? Does anyone use them? Cheers, Zik On 20/04/06, Timothy Weber wrote: > Peter wrote: > > Has anyone got trouble accessing microchip.com ?
