Seems > to work so far... what 18 series chips do you know of that can't self program? given that every second gen 18 series flash chip i know of is covered by one programming spec and that programming spec is very similar to the self write sequence i'd be surprised if there were any that weren't. the only 18 series chips without eeprom i know of the top of my head are the 2450 and 4450 and according to thier datasheets they can self write to flash. -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
