Well from what I hear on the list it's no longer $149US. But other than
that
I think it works (The only chip I've worked with so far is the 16C84).
Is it
true that it can't program a 17Cxx chip? My documentation says it can
and I
hope it's right. Becasue as soon as I order the 17C44 I'm going to
program
it to upgrade the PICStart+.
