If you can define and create the code that goes in the target PIC to
support the external module that queries it, then I would be willing to
create some external hardware and software to talk to the chip.

I have used PICs with LCDs, serial com and more so it should be
straightforward for me. I have talked to other engineers before about
tethered processing.  This concept assumes you have a very small kernel
of logic in the target that is sufficient to investigate everything in
the target system (maybe not in real time) and most of the computing
burden falls on the device talking to the target [said device could be
another PIC with display/keypad....or a PC or a PDA   or ???]

What do you think?
