No, there is no circuit. The 10F is connected to the PS+ by short
wires

I think the problem is that it needs an adapter. I foolishly assumed
that an 8-pin DIP 10F could be placed into the ZIF and programmed,
and therefore translating those pin functions onto an SOT23 would
work

According to the PS+ Release Notes, thereby onto

(I won't bore you with the 2 hours of frustration with that pile of
junk Microchip call a Search Engine. Suffice it to say I finally
figured out sometimes it's quicker to Google to find Microchip
documents. Pathetic)

the adapter shifts the pin assignments around. So what I really need
to know is what pins on the PS+ ZIF are used to program a 10F

Although the above describes a 6-pin connector, I have no idea
where these pins go via the adapter. Mention is made of 18-pins
and aligning pin1 to pin9. I can't find a picture or schematic of it
to explain that

It is said to be included on the PicKit CD, so if anyone cares to
share I'd be most grateful

Now I think I'll go and have some Aspirin on toast ......
