Subject: Re: [PIC] cheap, trusty programmer? You might want to check out the Olimex ICSD at www.sparkfun.com . I just bought one of these. Just about US$100. Came yesterday but I haven't fired it up yet. While visiting the site, look at some of the interesting tutorials. I have purchased other items from them and have been pleased with the prices and quality.
