Hi.

I have the Phoenix Firmware for the PicStart. I think mine was a 16B1.

I downloaded the Beta a long time ago, and got a friend to write a 17C42 or some such device with the code.

Seems to work very well for me. I understand that they are selling a non-beta version now. It can program chips that don't fit in the 16B1' socket, but you have to make up an adapter for that.

>From memory, I got mine from Newfound Electronics, try

Or, you might be able to try http://www.dontronics.com

I understand that Don McKenzie may have access to these as well....But he's probably Emailed you by now.

Cheers -
