Folks,

Just a hint for those making/buying an 8-pin adapter for the 12Cxxx parts.
Don't!  Soon we will have, to love and behold, 14-pin PIC devices (E.g.
16C505) and  these parts will require a programming socket wired as it is
for the existing 8-pinners.

The tip here is to use at least a 14-pin socket for  your 8-pin parts and
TOP justify the 8-pinners. This way you already have a programming socket
ready for the 14-pin parts. Save $$ (money, currency, mullah, dosh  etc
for those living in countries where $$ doesn't apply.)

I thought of this while spying on the parallax site and feeling sorry for
those who have gone out and bought a 8-pin adapter already.
