You can get away with it if the driver is disconnected and the circuits doe= sn't=20 load too much (also capacitively). Also make sure that the programmer can drive the MCLR pin to a voltage high= er=20 than VDD. /Ruben --=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 .
