I am currently staying overseas away from home and need to repair a unit based on a PIC16F84. I have a PICKit2 with me but only the relevant hex file and cannot track down a PIC16F84. I think I have found a source for a PIC16F84A locally and can easily obtain a PIC16F628A.

From my interpretation of the PIC documentation it would appear that I may be able to use the 16F84A (it is running at 4MHz) by simply loading the hex file.

Grateful for any advice.

Thanks

David
