With reference to my previous message about programming a PIC16F877 in a SimmStick as detailed at: http://www.dontronics.com/dt106.html My friend Peter Averill has just informed me he has achieved this task, and has just followed up by writing the article in html code, which is linked from: http://www.dontronics.com/vicuni.html We only spoke about it Friday night, when I gave him the boards. This works as a load/run operation. No moving chips, no ZIF socket, and it should be easily adaptable to any target board. Yes, any target board. So 877-ers, go to it!!!
