Since my first "unfortunate" response in this topic 18 (engineering speaking: non productive) more responses happened, none of them from the OP (Roger Weichert). And it seems it's easy to continue that way. Not my way. In the official web page of this list there is no a recomanation of the grade of concretion/assumtion we have to write in the posts. Roger Weichert, if you still have any interest on what to do with unused pins, here (in our piclist page) you have a very explanatory doc: http://www.piclist.com/techref/logic/xtrapins.htm And, Roger, sorry again, to make you loose your time with silly discussions. -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
