Epic Plus Programmer and 8 pin PICs

[Peaps]

Hi.

Do you insert the PIC so that pin 1 is where pin 1 would be on an 18 pin PIC on these devices? I am getting the error Programming error at 0000 when trying to program PIC12F683s, but I can program 16F628s etc ok..

I can answer my own question, - Yes, it goes in pin 1 the same as 18pin devices.

I had a dead PIC chip. It's amazing how much time you can waste, and the amount that you question your own sanity when dealing with such devices!
