Hello again,

I'm in desparate need of help here.  I've build the PIC programmer found
on the following page:

http://www.gbar.dtu.dk/~c888600/newpics.htm

It's a "simple" serial-port programmer but I can't get it to work.  I've
tried downloading multiple copies and versions of the programs and the
serial port drivers, using different computers, double-checked the
circuit, etc... to no avail.

I'm trying to program a 16C71.  The machines here at the lab are running
Windoze 98 (yes, I've tried DOS mode too).  It "pretends" to read
correctly.  It also seems to try to actually program the EEPROM, but it
always fails to program the fuses.

This is for a school project whose deadline is getting very close.  Any
help would be greatly appreciated.

Right now, I'm not even concerned about using this programmer
specifically.  If anyone has any ideas as to how to easily program a 16C74
w/o access to a REAL programmer, I'm all ears.
