All the old commands are still there, so it should be backwards-compatible. I only have PicKit 1 version 1.0 to test with. (Does anyone else find it confusing that the "Pickit 1" can come with "Version 2.x" firmware?) I would like to test with newer firmware. Does anyone know if there is a flash part comparable with the 16C745? I could bootstrap the newer firmware. Otherwise, I will continue testing with 1.0 firmware. Actually, I would like to have firmware with the "erase row" command implemented, so incremental programming could be used to speed the program->run->debug cycle. I wrote the Microchip guy credited in the source and asked about this, but I guess "not supported" means "not supported". If I had a compatible flash part to the 16C745, I would try to add the command myself. I don't have an EPROM eraser and I don't really want to deal with EPROM.
