Which ProMate? There are Promate I/II/III
and I have only used the Promate II/III. They
are of course quite good since they are Microchip's
top-of-the-line programmer. Promate I is no longer
sold and supported. Promate II is no longer
sold. Promate III is the current model but the
cost is not cheap. The socket modules for Promate
II/III is not cheap as well. Promate II has
a separated ICSP module. Promate III has the
ICSP module built-in.

I will tend to guess that this will not be a good 
buy without the necessary socket modules. Olin's 
ProProg might be a better buy if the chips you are
using are supported by it. But I've never used it.

Xiaofan
