Is this the correct PIC?

>>Ive been trying to use the Microchip PIC search page to find a PIC that best suits my project

Have your tried the search tool at the MELABS website? I think it works just great -

mister_e, I do still have computers with floppy drives in but im no sure if any of them work. I was worried i would put it in and the drive would damage it (its happened before). But now in a strange turn of events all my CD rom drives seem to have stopped working. 1 of them took a disk off me yesterday and wouldnt open until i jammed a paperclip in that little hole.

paul borgmeier, I haddnt but at first glance it looks a lot easier to use and has been added to my favs. Thanx

Edit: Just a thought. Is there somewhere i can get a full list of PICs that can easily be imported into MySQL? Im quite good with SQL queries so that would make finding chips even easier

Hello T.M.,
Win95 & up . . . open up the device manager and remove the offending drive, reboot and let it find and set it up again. ALSO many times CD R and CDRW will do that (get stuck) I think the drive is looking for something it never finds.

Thanx for the advice but the drive has fixed itself :S. It must have just been that CD that it didnt like (not PBP). To be honest, the PC is quite old. The CD drive is a bit newer but it could be better. Im planning to replace the whole PC with something really good as soon as i can afford it. As for the other PC im not sure. Its a fairly decent one but the CD drive just didnt like that CD. It must be the CD since im sure both drives normally work fine.

Some CDs are just that way, only good for hanging in your backyard fruit trees to scare off the birds
