Hello Andy,

Andy>>Got a new problem stairing me in the face, the Epic programmer has 18 pins in the socket, and the 12f675 has just 8, I know its possible to do in curcuit programming but how is another thing.<<

well, I have great news for you...

If i remember correctly... just put your "Pin 1" of yoru 8 pin chip where "Pin 1" of your 18 pin chip would go... and it should program quite nicely...(If I remember correctly)... but check the Documentation, and see if both your 18 pin chip and 8 pin chip use the same pins for programming. I could be wrong on this (Its been a while, but maybe someone else could verify this. Most all the 18 pins have close to the same PortA set up. And the Port A setup is like the 8 pin Port A. Thus your programmer should work for 8 pins as well as 18 pins. Since I am at work, I cannot verify this, and I don't want to give you incorrect info...
