As promised here is the result: the transceivers on both devices I used (2 = out of total 3) were bricked... just my luck. Replaced them and everything = works fine.

As long as you can't get the pins to work as normal I/O pins, there is no reason to try them as CAN pins. --=20 http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist --=20 http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
