> RA4 is open collector when used as an output Some PICs have the high-side FET on RA4 so it can drive high rather than "float" high. It caught me out when a circuit based on an F88 (has the FET) was ported to an F628 (doesn't). So you have to watch the RA4 voltage too. Open collector RA4 spec is a lot higher, 14V vs Vdd + 0.3V -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
