I was under the impression that in-circuit programming was LVP (low
voltage programming).  Is that not the case?  Even so, ICSP uses some
pins that cannot be used for I/O and I have already done projects where
I needed every available I/O pin.  So I need a programmer with high
voltage programming.  What I'm hoping is to be able to get one that does
both instead of having to get two programmers.

I just looked at the Wisp628 again and it says it is and in-circuit
programmer but it does HVP!  I guess I need to do some more research...
