Hi,

Its one of the easiest things I have ever done.

Sure you would like to run after me now to get a hint about how to do that and that's what I would love to happen. (cheap popularity) that's the desire what has caused these rumors to spread out there.

Of course it costs thousands of bucks.

There's an idea once I got from the net.

while you erase the chip, then cut short the erase pulse so that it only erases the lock bits and terminates before it even has a chance to erase a bit in the actual code area.

You can do that, try it, and then let us know as well.

Simon

PS: See I have successfully managed to engage you day and night in it, hahahhaaaaaaaa
