OEM BS2 and the PIC16C57C-20/p

$WMc%

Hello All

Does the Windows Editor download the "Interpretor" part·to the OEM "PIC16c57c-20/p"·or is it preloaded from Parallax.???

I was giving a bunch of PIC Chips from a friend of mine. Most are old PICs but 11 are PIC16c57c-20/p's

Some work in a OEMBS2 card and some don't, they all seem to be new as they·where removed from a sealed tube carton.· They all have same markings.

Any info on this would be of help.

The interpreter is burned into stock units from the manufacturer, makes 'em special that way.

Thanks Again Mr.Allen

I noticed the PICs that work have a silver inlaid PIN 1 marker,while the PICs that don't work have a white paint or ink mark.

One would think that Microchip would give the "interpreter Burned" chip a different part#.

The interpreter is burned at Parallax, who buy their chips from Microchip.

I don't buy my stuff from Microchip. I tried their Programming software/Hardware before I found Parallax back in the day. I didn't care much for it then and still don't now. Not that it was bad, It just lacks the Basic lingo I like to use.

If it wasn't for Microchip, I would have missed out on My favorite little $STAMP, the BS2!

If You were giving some free PICs ;would You throw them out?
