"Supports" and "works" is not the same. I know at least a couple
of newer PICs that works with Wouter's tools but aren't
listed on Wouter's Wisp628/Xwisp pages.

Why would someone even concider using something
(only?) supporting something as old as Win98 ??

Now, I can understand that fiddling with this could be
some fun as such, but, IMHO, it seems *much* easier
to just setup a W2K or WinXP box and go on with
"real" work...
