$449 for a programmer just for programming PICs? You should seriously consider getting a cheaper one, or even build your own. My DIY JDM currently serves me good for programming 12c508, 16F84, F628, F87x. If you have some electronics background, which i think you might, try building it. schematics and programming software available here. http://www.ic-prog.net/ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Erik Jacobs" To: Sent: Tuesday, June 18, 2002 10:10 PM Subject: [EE]: Xeltec Superpro280 > http://www.xeltek.com/sp280.htm > > Opinions?
