I'm not sure some of you might be interested in "Kitsrus"'s kit. They carry couple of models that can support lots of PIC family (see below). 12C508 12C508A 12C509 12C509A 12C671 12C672 12CE673 12CE674 12F629 12F675 16C505 16C554 16C558 16C61 16C62 16C62A 16C62B 16C63 16C63A 16C64 16C64A 16C65 16C65A 16C65B 16C66 16C66A 16C67 16C71 16C71A 16C710 16C711 16C72 16C72A 16C73 16C73A 16C74 16C74A 16C74B 16C83 16C84 16F627 16F627A 16F628 16F628A 16F648A 16F73 16F74 16F76 16F77 16F83 16F84 16F84A 16F630 16F676 16F870 16F871 16F872 16F873 16F873A 16F874 16F874A 16F876 16F876A 16F877 16F877A 18F242 18F248 18F252 18F258 18F442 18F448 18F452 18F458 24LC256 24LC515 24C01 24C02 24C04 24C08 24C16 You can go to thier website and look at model 128 149A 149B and 150. http://www.kitsrus.com/upuc.html#k128 I owned the 128 model which is even powered by USB (ie. no external power needed and its is really small (about a third of my palm). The software is very user friendly. If you can afford a little more, go for model 144 which is the enhanced version of 117. with 144, you can program even more PIC family and some other MCU too (some 8051, ATMEL and SX too - Cool !!). The design is designed by Bojan Dobaj and he maintained his website at http://picallw.com/ Davis Josh Koffman wrote: Except I didn't fix the tag....
