But a power fail occures in the middle of upgrading the firmware - so =
the PIC just sit's with no firmware loaded while your on the floor =
clutching your chest.

Sounds very painful.   [*cringe*]
But in that case, I'd need to run long wires up to my
heart.  I need to research the effects of EMI on the
stomach.  Perhaps it would boost metabolism?  Hmmm...
weight loss from a PIC...???

Another option would be to transfer the ICSP signals
via some other, non-intrusive method.  Picture this --
stick head in (modified) microwave, and hit the
"Download hex file" button.  :-)

Cheers,
-Neil,

For ICSP maybe you should take a look at that bionic version
of Apple's Firewire. Very simple plug-in system. Er, what's it
called again ? "Fire-cock" was it ?
