Microchip's ICD 2 in-circuit debugger can also do out-of-circuit
programming of all the chips it supports.  They sell a Universal
Programming Module accessory for this purpose, but it's easy enough to
build your own: the UPM consists basically of a modular jack, a ZIF socke=
t,
and jumper wires connecting the two.  Details on one I built, with some
nicer features than Microchip's version, are here:
