    Default Epic Plus programmer @16c770

    I have an Epic Plus // port programmer with the ZIF 8 to 40 pin adapter.
    Todate it has worked without problem on many different chips from 12c671 to 16C774. But I am trying to program a 16c770 and it will not program. The program voltage comes on and it appears to be working but after programming the chip is still blank. If I change to a different PIC, even with sme settings it programs OK. I have tried different 770 chips and different settings without any luck.
    Any ideas would be welcomed

    Check the VPP voltage, it must be 'round 13 volt while programming.

    I heard that sometime the 5 volt regulator may fail... maybe it's time to change it?

    It's not a bug, it's a random feature.
    There's no problem, only learning opportunities.

    Thanks for the suggestions. I have checked both voltages and they are OK.
