Hmm. I remeber when James was asking for ideas
for a competition project. Maybe a PIC tester??
I have never seen one of these in my internet

I suupose it would have to program the PIC and
check ins/outs from each pin. Really not that
hard?? Might be annoying supporting all the PICs
but many do have the same pinouts.
