Thanks for the information regarding the micro-engineering bootloader. I =
have ordered the software and should receive it shortly.

I am now also having problems getting MPLAB (Version 6.10.0.0) to =
program a target PIC16F876A. I am using PICSTART PLUS with an adaptor =
that takes a cable out to the ICSP socket on my target. It worked fine =
for PIC16F876 but not the "A" version.

I have modified the __CONFIG line as suggested in Microchips migration =
to the A part. I have also changed the LIST and Include to PIC16F876A.=20

The new interface looks good but still it is difficult to determine =
which opened code is currently being programmed.

When you click View-> Program Memory, and then import the HEX file, it =
seems to open a new window for each instance and not show which is =
currently programming.

Also, the Configuration bit settings and device type never change to =
reflect the settings in the hex file, you seem to have to change them =
manually.

As a consequence, I am looking for alternate programmer hardware and =
Windows software to enable programming of the PIC16F876A parts.=20

Thanks for your recommendations. (or help getting MPLAB and PICSTART =
performing correctly).
