Sorry Jan-Erik, Sorry Wouter
   Configuring MPLAB for the chip is miniscule compared to carrying all the
weight of the most versatile programmer.
    You point amout cost is well taken
    What would it cost to build say 100 units to program one 28 pin chip
under MPLAB?
    Further if you were able to find the hot set up. How many units would
you sell?
