I would suspect that the L78M05 was bad but not because of the 5v VCC output being too high, rather that something was wrong with the reset output pin. This is a 5 pin device and is used to reset the micro as well as supplying the 5 volt VCC. ************************************************** Jim Myers Since 1972 Telrad Electronic Services Co.
