Dear Mr. Gruber,
as I read in your mail to the PIC-LIST, you are looking for a
PIC-programmer
Maybe we can help with a complete programmer ?  Our P16PGD is able to
program
over 45 different PIC-chips.
And it is very easy to implement new PICs, simply add them to the
parameter list. It is very low priced (only 198 DM) and it comes
complete
with the powersupply, the connecting wires and so on. The software is
also
included (it is shareware !) and it is updated on a regular bases.
Have a look at our site at :
http://www.git-online.de/home/bam-mon

sorry, it's only in german right now, but it will be available in
english soon.
If you need more information, just contact us.
