OK, I'll check in the evening, I was sure 18F series are low voltage programmable only. Then checked in datasheet that is not so. But my parallel port programmer was not working properly lately, exactly that was the reason for pickit after all :) Funniest thing is, when i tried to play with my pickit clone yesterday, it was detected correctly a few times yesterday, but not detected few times after disconnecting. Never had any problems with USB on that box, so I do not thing the problem is in PC. It's running linux, btw. > I am not surprise you have a big concern about shipping to EU. As a matter of fact we have about half of the BB0703 customer from oversea, to name a few: Australia, Italy, Sweden, France, Romania, Portugal, Poland, Brazil, Finland, Hongkong, Taiwan, Canada, etc. I do not know where exactly is the problem, but shipping from usa has been unpredictable. Sometimes it was one week, sometimes more then a month. But that's a complete OT. -- KPL -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
