How hard would it be to convert the Wisp628 to self power (eg. the
infamous wall-wart)?
Also, do you have more detail on the circuit listed on the WIsp28 page
referring to using a game connector to make an
external board?
I'd like to do something similar, make an external board with a ZIF and a
header to connect to the ICSP from the WISP628.
This board could also have the power connector.
I also thought you could easily put a row of pin headers on either side
of the ZIF, you could use jumper wires from the
ICSP header to setup any pin configuration for any PIC in the socket.

Thanks

  Only half true.

  But with those 'refined' requirements you could check Wisp628. No ZIF
  and no pin switching, but good for ICSP of 7805-powered targets. And
  do
  consider a pickit2, even if you have to buy it. And check a few ICD2
  clones (there are a lot of simplified ICD2 designs around - but be
  aware
  that such simplifications also limit the features).
