Yes, WINE is getting better and better, that's why I asked. Anyway, is there any reason why you guys build a programmer instead of buying a commercial one? For example the usb only ICD2 is started around 118 pounds, if you buy the usb/serial one with all the gadgets it will be 226 uk pounds all together which is around 360 euro (I am not sure about usa dollar). But this is a professional one with debugging capability and PSU and everything, so if you buy only the starter kit which is ok for learning it will be around 20-40 pounds (32-64 euro). Of course MPLAB compatible, and for the 40 you get the USB version. How much would it cost to build your programmer like this Wisp628 or PICKit 2?
