Only, if you try to order one you'll find it is not available right
now. So you will have to wait.

Alternatively, you could try any of the prebuilt JDM-type programmers
like the PIC-PG2C available from sparkfun
(http://www.sparkfun.com/shop/index.php?shop=1&cart=37200&cat=3&) for $
12,50 and using the freeware ICPROG (http://www.ic-prog.com/).
BUT!!! this programmer will only work if you have a true serial port on
your pc. The JDM design draws it's power from the serial port and a
USB-to-serial dongle simply does not supply enough current.

Anyway, having tried both, I prefer the Wisp628, but the PIC-PG2C is
probably the cheapest way to get started.
