I had some great help in another thread yesterday, so thought I'd ask a burning question that I've often wondered about but never got around to researching.
Some of the gear I repair use PIC16C57-XT/P chips. I am finding them harder to buy off the shelf ... and have not been all that thrilled with some of the cheapies I've bought from Hong Kong ... counterfeits???
Anyway, can anyone tell me confidently whether there are any other Microchip PIC's that can be used in their place without having to modify the code etc?
Thank you.
