Forgot to say, when a new PIC is programmed for the very first time, ie nothing has yet been manually keyed in or hex-loaded, rather
than leaving it empty, the non-volatile ram defaults to the Science of Cambridge Message demo from the MK14 manual.
This is overwritten as soon as any new program is keyed in or hexloaded.
So you can blow a brand-new pic, plug it in, press the "SC/MP Reset" button, type F 2 0 and Go, which if nothing else is a quick test,
confirming that indeed "as you can see the S of C is a jolly fine buy"
Cheers
