Not to unnecessarily complicate things but . . .

         I switched almost everything I do from the 628 to the 628A about 6
months ago.   I have not upgraded my PicStart because I don't use it to
program the 628A's.  Instead I use the Microchip ICD2.  The main reason for
this is that the ICD 2 is VASTLY faster at programming chips than is the
PicStart.  Something like an order of magnitude faster, or so it
seems.  I'm thinking that if I were considering a PicStart upgrade at
UKP20, I might be thinking of upgrading to an ICD 2 instead.
