Bull! The WARP-13 will program the F877 faster than the picstart plus
everytime.

How can any programmer program the F877 in 10 seconds?

Lets see.
8192 x 0.01 = 81.92 Seconds program time alone. This is before you add the
serial comms overhead of 4 bytes @ 19200 baud.

The picstart plus takes over two minutes to program the 16F877 and in fact the
time I quoted was the picstart plus time and not the WARP-13 time as the
WARP-13 can be quicker.

I would be most interested in how you can be programming the 16F877 in 10
seconds with a picstart plus...
