This is not the Microchip specs (well at least not documented feature)
but it _is_ possible to use David Taits programmer in original form
without any hardware modifications to program the PIC16C84 and to _RUN_
the code! Well some sort of oscillator circuitry must be connected.

We have updated PIP-02 to implement this feature. We believe it should
work on all the hardware we currently support, including Eriks RS-232
and Cox BLOWPIC and AN589.

We have not checked out all configurations of our drivers/hardware
but we believe all of them should support this feature.

**** WE ARE SORRY that our ftp server is currently down,
please dont try to connect until to morrow our local time :-)

We will make a http link to PIP-02. Please use that link
if you dont need anything from our ftp server. Thanks.

NOTICE _no_need_ to get new drivers, all the old ones should be
capable of having this feature.

We made testing with 1:1 implementation of D. Tait hardware
at VPP level exactly 13.5V
