Ok, that answers my question, thanks, plus the others' posts.
If you said, 'gee, I program a F452 in 3s flat, I'd say my 52s is
unreasonable:)

I think I may go to the wisp, 'cause I've never got ICProg to run properly
on my HP P3, so I'm on a lan to a P166 to burn the program. But ICProg is
great for the hardware test facility and adapatabilty to your homebrew
hardware.
ICProg has a speed/delay bar for programming, which is usually set as fast
as it'll go, so I wonder about the longevity of the programmed data.
