thanks guys. I appreciate the help. I normally wouldn't bother but I'm trying to learn this stuff and it always makes me wonder when I can't figure something out....even if it doesn't seem to be a problem. On top of that, I'm trying to make sure this simple programmer that I built is actually working the way it is suppose to. I thought a simple write/read would do the trick but that lead me to where I'm at

After my last post I went through winpic800 and played with the options and watched what it did to the output file. I noticed where the 'id' started to come into play as it was not in the original hex. I still wasn't able to figure out the difference in the first lines:

:0C03D0000D300C1EE92999006029630023
:1003D0000D300C1EE929990060296300FF3FFF3FA3

Even after reading Darrel's response I'm still a bit puzzled with these 2. The other lines make sense. Maybe you could explain a little more Darrel?

Here is a link to the actual circuit/application that I'm trying to duplicate.

Maybe this may explain things a little more and you can help me understand.
