Just to clarify a few points based on the replies to
my original post.

This would be a dedicated pic. So as long as it works
that's all that matters. All it has to do is handle
the usb-232 won't be doing anything else.

I am extremely limited in space and this needs to fit
inside a case so a cable or dongle type would be far
too big. Even the connecting cable between the two is
going to be fun fitting and routing.

The FT232R is a nice bit of kit. And probably would
be far less headache in the long run. However I have
a pile of smt 18F's sitting here which makes a difference
as I'd love to get this running by say 5pm tonight. That's
almost 5 hours, how hard could it be?? ;-]

I mentioned in another reply that the high speed usb page
in the design section has the firmware and such. It is based
more on implementation in a pc. However in one of the forums
there was a link to http://greta.dhs.org/UBW/ which the fellow
has provided source, schematics etc for a stand-alone configuration
which is much gooder. Actually this might be worth looking at for
some of you guys who were talking about USB programmers.

no

but then he should realise that using the PIC as USB slave will eat a
lot of resources (CPU, flash, RAM).
