The ICP01-V1.1 was purchased to inexpensively program PIC16F1939s using laptops in the field. It costs less than $20 USD on ebay, or is =20 available on the website WWW.PICCIRCUIT.COM for the same. These guys are located in ASIA so allow 10 days or so for shipping. The ICP01 emulates the PICKIT2 in programming mode. For a tiny bit more, yo= u can buy a 40P socket which the ICP01 plugs into program loose PICs. The ICP01 installed easier than my PICKIT2 ever did. It is ready to roll=20 in less than 30 seconds. It programs EVERYTHING the PICKIT2 can. I'm happy with these, and we=20 will purchase more. --Bob A --=20 http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
