The source code for the PIC16F876 on the MPLAB Serial ICD is proprietary and I don't have it, nor would I know what to do with it. The .hex file for this PIC is included in MPLAB. If you have an older ICD which uses the PIC16C non flash EEPROM, I will provide a programmed PIC16F876 for the cost of the PIC ($8.50). But, all of the units we have sold are later than Firmware Version 2.0 and thus have the PIC16F876. Thus, you can download the latest firmware upgrade using nothing more than the ICD. The units we sell are precisely the same provided by Microchip in their $159 package. These are not clones. There is no special code on the target. You can use any PIC16F870 - 877 on your breadboard or indeed on your final product. The special code is generated by MPLAB when you compile or assemble your routine and is downloaded to the target along with your program. Its a pretty nice unit. In fact, I find I never use my far more expensive emulators. I have been selling stuff on-line for about five years, primarily to give my students meaningful design projects and to pay them while helping people beyond Morgan State University. Although, I am sure there may be one or two disatisfied people over the years, I think we have a pretty good reputation. With the speed of the internet, those who don't provide good products and services just won't last. Please don't use this "africana.com" address for inquiries as I only use it to read the PIC list.

Mike: He's a list member, really? Wow! I did find a hex file, but it has to be for the target pic, not the one= inside the ICD/programmer module (orgs' at 0x1f00...). From what I have been able to read, Professor Andersons unit is the sam= e Module - so I doubt he has access to the code inside that device (or at= least I doubt he would be allowed to release it to us). But I like what I saw, and the price is great. Can even but it a Amazon= .coms Z-Shops if you don't like spreading your credit info around (talk about= making it easy)! I am very likely going to buy his package. Thanks for your quick response and info.
