As I wait for the M'chip new emulator generation, I find a few alternatives such as the British "TRICE" and EBLabs $ 99 full speed emulator. Unless the question is inappropriate for this list, I hope to recieve some (private) responses on the question if you "get what you pay for" or do I just buy trouble if I pay less than a kilodollars worth ? I am about to dive into a time consuming 16C74 project, and want the product out A.S.A.P. So far, I have used the "burn-and-learn"-tric, using 4 windowed PIC's circulating between board, programmer and eraser. Comments appreciated! Sven Milton
