Simple question, please don't answer if you DON'T know!

Does 16F628a support IDC or not?

I Googled the question and found 1/2 say it does, 1/2 say it doesn't. Microchip says it doesn't unless you have a daughter board, but Microcode Studio Plus supplies a file to support the 16F628a. So I'm confused.

I built a Max232 circuit to interface to the 16F628a (which has a USART on chip), but it doesn't work and I verified sending data to the chip with a scope.

Yes or No?
