Setting up my trusty ol' Tait programmer f/ICSP, and think I
have it figured all out (from the Microchip docs), but running
this past the list to see if anyone might notice any potential
snags or things I may have missed.

Here are the necessary gory details:

(A) Initial circuit...
- 5V power.
- RC oscillator.
- RB6 and RB7 unused
- MCLR to +5V directly.
[All coded and working.]


(B) Modifications f/ICSP...
- MCLR to +5V via diode (using 1N4001 which I had)
- X'tal & ext caps, though possibly 3-pin resonator later.
        (Avoiding the 4 instructions at startup prob).
[Still working.]


(C) With ICSP...
- Added jumper from MCLR pin to Tait programmer.
- RB6 wired to Tait programmer.
- RB7 wired to Tait programmer.
- Ground on app circuit connected to Tait prog ground.
- App circuit will still be self-powered.
- Tait programmer will use its own power.


Trying to avoid frying yet another chip.  Is it safe
to "flip the switch"???

Cheers,
-Neil.
