Hi Graham.  I checked out a few sites with inof onn the AN589...it doesn't
look like it'll do the 12C508, which is what I want to play with. Actually,
I don't care if it's off the serial port or parallel, as long as it works :)
Have you managed to get the AN589 to program 12C508's ??

Thanks.
Scott.
