Hello,

    an idea passed my head right now...

    If I take the +5V and +12V (and GROUND, of course) from the PC power
suply and use it to feed the PIC in-line programmer board (David Tait's
SERPIC), can I cause any harm to the programmer, target board ou the PC?

    This would save me a 12V power suply and make the things a bit more
ellegant (only 3 wires from the programmer to the PIC).

    Thanks,

    Brusque
