Sure Mike,

PIC14000, and PIC12Cxx are now being tested with the PICSTART "Phoenix"
upgrade.

However Jim's shareware version "Phoenix" is about to go to a final
version, so you will have to pay a fee for the hex file in future. This
is expected to take place in the next week or two.

The same routines are nearing completion for the Newfound Warp-3 and PP1
PIC Programmers and the Hex files will be offered in the same manner.
The Warp-3 Beta Version is now available.

The 'open architecture structure' of the new phoenix engine should allow
easy development to other platforms.

You can learn more about this by having a peep at:
http://www.dontronics.com/phoenix.html

You will now find the Newfound and DonTronics pages heavily linked
together as all final version downloads of "Phoenix" will be done from
dontronics.com
