Hello Badrad,

BR>> That was more than frustrating, but got an LED to blink... 2 bloody weeks...<<

<chuckle> You know Badrad, you were not the only person that has gone through this...Welcome to the titanic. I did it back in 1990. and I still (sometimes) do it now. But this is why I have my tag line like it is. To remind me and those of some of the craziest and things us humans do to accomplish a light to blink... or whatever else.

You are fortunate. I did it with Philips microchips...had to use 20 minutes of UV light to erase, and then (to top it off), if the erase didn't work, and you attempted to program it...no good. Chips were 15 to 20 dollars a piece, could only be programmed about 25 to 30 times, and were programmed by assembly.
