No, you will find a circuit of just that using a 4PDT switch to do the job. In the case of 84's, it means target board programming on the fly. That is, a load/go switch. http://www.dontronics.com/84.html Also some helpful hints at: http://www.dontronics.com/hints.html Don McKenzie don@dontronics.com http://www.dontronics.com PICSTART and Newfound PIC Programmers Firmware Upgrades.
