>>The ProPic 2 Standard has the same features of PicStart Plus, but
>>it works on the parallel port, so no communications problem.
>>The Propic 2 Gold version has variable VDD controlled by software

The price starts at US$ 39.00 and goes up to US$ 199.00.
For the support I'm on the list, I answer every e-mail, I try to
fix bugs as soon as I can.
The best way to know is to ask registered users of ProPic.
