I have an older PICSTART kit (as well as a picstart plus). It seems to be so old that it can only program the 16C54 series. It would be useful to be able to program later micros (partic 16C73A which I use most) with the MPS16B and MPS16C DOS drivers (these can support the later micros). There must be a later version of PICSTART firmware to support the range of pic's supported by MPS16B & C. Does anyone have this firmware (if it exists) or can advise where to get it> Thanks Don Peat, Saturn Telesystems Ltd, New Zealand. email: don@central.co.nz web: http://www.saturn.webnz.co.nz
