~$5 for an FTDI serial or parallel USB chip and a handful of cheap
passive components will get you a USB interface for your PIC... what's
so painful about that? Then you can do whatever you want on both the
PIC and PC side of things. You can also get pre-made USB modules that
plug into a DIP socket, syou can even transfer them from PIC board to
PIC board or use in a solderless protoboard (Ugh... these things should
be outlawed for most uses, but that's another subject).
