Yes, this WAS true. Once you could build this circuit and use the free
firmware to get a programmer compatible with my TM4 protocol (The protocol
an a open source linux driver are on my web page under "links.")  For a
small amount you could purchase the 4LAB MPLAB chip for any and all types
of TAIT programmers including the propic and the p16pro. However interest
was so poor that I discontinued sales, still have most of the adapter PCBs
working as dust magnets.

I have not discontinued support for those who bought a 4LAB firmware chip and
there is firmware available that supports all the latest PICs and the
latest MPLAB version. I don't advertise or promote this but it is available
for
the asking as part of my obligation to those who parted with their hard
earned my way.

Sorry, I am not selling to new customers, only to those whom I can establish
bought a TAIT style 4LAB chip originally.

The same upgrades are available to owners of the PP1, reaper, prime-17 and
WARP
series of programmers.
