The Parallel-Port JTAG debugger/programmer (wiggler) for ARM is
really cheap.

For example, perhaps you can buy the Olimex Wiggler clone.
Embeddedhub is a distributor for Olimex in Singapore.
http://www.embeddedhub.com/development/arm-board/arm-jtag.html

I bought it together with the extension cable and the LPC-P2148
development board. They are working fine (with IAR 32k Kickstart
version and the H-JTAG plugin). Got no time to really play with it
right now.

The good thing is that I have access to the USB based IAR J-Link
from work now since people here are moving to ARM7
from 8051s (8051s will stay for a long time though). Small MCUs
like PIC/AVR/MSP430s are not widely used in this company.
