 It's more common than you think. However, it is not usually caused by the
PICSTART plus. Microchip's on going development of the MPLAB software often
makes things that 'did work', stop working. They do fix things though. But
downloading the latest beta version of MPLAB every time is a pain in the ass.

I use and sell the P16pro. It represents superb value for money.

I have also emailed Jim for details on his MPLAB interface for this
product. When I can get my hands on that, I will have the best of both
worlds. [HEY JIM, are you listening?]
