Eeerrrr... I'm a bit confused.
Didn't you mispell one the above device types?

If didn't, does this mean that you can read/write the chip well
but the program does not run?

You are lucky ;-), currently I use 16F877 also in my current project.
I see that my PS+ firmware (4.10.6) handles this PIC well.
Which version of PS+ firmware you have?

I ask you to do the following:
- Reinitialize PS+ with adding "--debug" option to "programmer" command
  of Pista. Now you will see the whole traffic on the serial line.
- Read the config word by "copy --range=conf pic: term:"
- Program the config word only by "copy --range=conf yourfile.hex pic:"
- Read out again the config word by "copy --range=conf pic: term:"
- Send me all of the output.

    Hi!

    First, i'd like to congratulate you for the great project pista is. 
I loved it.

    I have a picstart plus clone programmer, and i'm madly crazy to make 
it work correctly under linux. I'm doing tests with both picp and pista, 
but i'm having some problems:

    - pista works perfectly for reading and/or writing an hex file to a 
16F627
    - i made several tests and all works fine

    - But 16f627 does not work for me!
    - I work on picnic project that is based on 16F877 pics, and i can't 
program it with pista

    - When i try to program the pic i get this error:
 
  
    121 Writing conf section 0x2007-0x2007
    532 Verification failed. 1 words differ

    And if i verify it in mplab i see that in fact the program written 
is incorrect.

    Can anyone help me?

    thanks a lot

Rafael.
