Snap!!
Same pile of Gauno this end too.
I am getting every vague put off known to sales people but the unit
is no where to be seen.
I can only use the 12C671/2 module we have recieved but most of
our recent work has been 16F877 for which we are forced to use
the ICD and/or the old, unstable ICEPIC with a 16C74 board.
I have toyed with the idea of changing the order to a 16C73/4
module but that annoys me, spend NZ$4000 for an emulator of
older PICs.
Maybe its just us bloody foreigners who are kept in the stone age
and there are 87X modules a-plenty in the states.
(That should get em going!).
