I'm thinking about a thing like this and putting some calibration data
(ADC) into OTPROM, like measure it first and then program the chip with a
patched file. Or better, burn the program, do a calibration run (part of
the program), get some reference values (from the PIC), send these back to
the programmer, and then put these reference values in the program memory
at some unused location. Does anybody have experience with a setup like
this? I.e. is it possible to program just some locations after the "main"
program has already been burned?

Would you mind to explain briefly why? (More as to give me some clues what
to look for what I don't have in a PICstart when I have to buy a production
type programmer...)

TIA,
