Hi Leva.

That statement is absolutely not true. Along with the memory sizes, the
programming algorithm and various programming parameters can be
different. The chip erase algorithm is different for a number of the
PIC16F* chips as well.

> I want to use the PIC16f87x.
You can try it and there's a good chance that it will work. The author
says it works with a PIC16F84 and the programming algorithm for the PIC16F84
is the same as the PIC16F87x.
