I have one of these, (actually it is a picall programmer)  It works great.
It has never let me down.  The picall is a little more expensive, but it
does a ton of chips including AVR's, SX's and serial EEPROM's (24cxx).  I
have not tested it under Win2k, but it should work fine.  XP is another
issue, nothing works fine under it.
