As a faster alternative to PIC/AVR when needs demand, I'd like
to use the SX. I've found two sources in NZ and now have to get
a programmer. Currently I use the PicStart+ / MPLAB and AVR
Studio and a home-made AVR programmer. Any recommendations
for similar tools for SX would be appreciated. Not too pricey, but
nothing that needs too much fiddling about with either. Middle-range
semi-professional I guess you'd say
