Here is a code snippet from the V170 Pickit 1 classic application. 
So it seems that it will support the new 16F785 and 16F91x. Quite
surprised to see 16F627A/628A/16F877A as well. Maybe it is not 
implemented yet. I will try this sometime later.

The original only supports the 12F675 (or other chip with an identical
memory map).

My additions to the software attempt to support the following:
$ grep deviceName usb_pickit.c
         deviceName="12F629";
          deviceName="12F675";
          deviceName="16F630";
          deviceName="16F676";
          deviceName="16F635";
          deviceName="16F683";
          deviceName="16F636 / 16F639";
          deviceName="16F684";
          deviceName="16F685";
          deviceName="16F687";
          deviceName="16F688";
          deviceName="16F689";
          deviceName="16F690";

I am using 16F688 on my project.  Other parts have not been tested,
but I filled in values from the datasheet and they *should* work,
except for when I mistyped something.

If someone wants to try programming some other parts, it is not hard
to add devices.  Look for the big switch statement in usb_pickit.c or
just tell me what part you want to try and I'll add it for you.

I could also set up a cross-compiler to make Win32 versions, if
someone will commit to testing them for me.

Mark
