Hi,


        I bought a Warp3 mid last year, and found it very easy to use.


        The product is relatively cheap, easy to use software, and best
        of all supports a number of different types of PICs.


        Recent surfs to Dontronics and his links show later upgrades in
        firmware (I must look into sometime :-)) show that this product
        is being supported.


        The only problem, if you can call it a problem is that it is NOT
        a production programmer (due to the voltages on verification), but
        if you are like me just a hobbyist or setting them self up, then
        I can recommend it (Dontronics for instance, can supply the unit
        with or without the ZIF sockets, thus keeping the price down even
        further).

        I suupose the only thing down on it is that it does not come when
        purchased as a FULL unit with a jiffy case to keep it neat and
        protected, but hey, that would cost extra and is easy to purchase
        from some electronics supplier.

        In conclusion, if all you want to program is 84s then use one of
        those do it your self jobs, but if you are keen to go to other
        PICs then this in my opinion can not be beaten for its ease of use
        and price.
