I am making the QwikFlash board from Peatman's PIC18F452 book. I had some MAX232 chips setting around so I didn't order the more expensive MAX232A. After reading some in the book, I notice it says not to use anything but the A version, due to capacitance. I was wondering, could I just switch out a capacitor and use my other MAX232's? Or do I definitely have to order a $5 A revision? What is the difference that makes them so much more expensive everywhere?
