Jeff,

I have carefully tested the El Cheapo programmer power requirements, and
discuss it on my website at:

http://www.glitchbuster.com/el_cheapo_kit.htm

Take a look down toward the bottom of the page.  My suggestion is the
16VDC/500mA unit, which is also the one MicroEngineering Labs suggests for
their EPIC programmer.

You might also be interested in looking at my "El Cheapo Grande," which uses
two ZIF sockets (18 and 40 pin) to cover 8, 18, 28, and 40 pin programming
chores.
