Gang,

After owning an ITU PIC-1 for some time I have finally gotten
time to do what I was going to do.

I have the manual, but no schematic and would like to get one
to complete the documentation.

I am using a DB-25 straight through cable and I have used
a PC board with switches to switch to null modem to test some
problems.  Here is what I have.

1.  ITU software is beta release March 9, 1997.  It does not
     work other than giving me a missing hardware error message
     when run under DOS with machine at the DOS level.

2.  Same message when run under DOS emulator under SuSE LINUX 6.4
     on an eMachines 400i.

I am interested in getting help from someone that has a PIC-1
being used under LINUX to program 16F84's.  If you are the first
to help me I have for you a brand new (i.e. unused Optrex DMC16230
LCD display with manual) shipped USPS air priority to your door.
What software are you using if there is such for the ITU PIC-1
under LINUX using the parallel port.

I also have a Microchip PICStart Plus and someone is going to get
me the upgrade to 2.01.00 or later for the same exchange (I hope).
This so that picp will work.  If I take out the check for the
version, will it still program 16F84's without the latest rev of
firmware???

I have several more displays, but I'm saving those for any help
I may need later.  :-)

I have surfed 'til I'm blue in the face and am wading through
so much information like everyone else.  I'm just interested in
getting what I have going so that I can get a project going that
I'd like to get finished before the next two weeks slip by.  I
do have another programmer and software on order just in case
this plea does not work.....

Thanks in advance for any help that I can get.  I promise to
be quiet.  My previous post may have been missed by many as I
forgot to qualify the area in the subject line.  I had mentioned
to the rocket people that they should look at an Air Force
Cambridge Research Labs report that I did in 1968,
AFRC-68-0367.  The report was written for laser guided critters
probably before many that are on the list were born.  ;-) :-)

My current interests have to do with Astrophysics and remote
sensing work.


ciao,
