A thousand dollars for a programmer that seems to be able to do everything
my ICD2 can...and not even a manual.  There is an electronic manual (which
is actually good) but what's driving me crazy is trying to hook the poor
thing up to our board's PIC programming port.  

We ICD'ers are used to the following ritual:

1. MCLR
2. Vdd
3. Gnd
4. RB7
5. RB6
6. (RB3)

There is no apparent equivalent listing...Here is what we are told about the
Promate III:

 1.  CLK
 2.  PASS
 3.  DATA
 4.  FAIL
 5.  LVP/Clock
 6.  GO
 7.  V PP
 8.  V PP
 9.  VDD
10.  Test
11.  VDD
12.  +5V
13.  GND
14.  GND

I've discovered that Go, Pass, and Fail are "features", decided that VDD is
probably preferred over +5, etc.  But where is MCLR??
Might be "VPP" but do I feel lucky?  I'd rather build my cable only once,
and not fry too many of the boss' parts before getting it working.

If anyone can shed some light...thanks

Barry
