Sorry for pounding on on a dead horse, I am somewhat mystified by the lack of participation on this thread which I started? Should I take this elsewhere? Is there no way to clarify these things other than by talking to a fae or such, which I have no need to do for now? Reminder: This was about flash/row cell endurance for new midrange and smal= l pics, like 10F322, with examples of data from the datasheet which left me more confused than before. tia for comments (flames etc.), -- Peter --=20 http://www.piclist.com/techref/piclist PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
