Thanks for the responses everyone. I have been out for a while so just
getting back to this.

I have suggested to management that we have the chips programmed by
MicroChip Direct or another outfit - that idea was shot down. We want to
keep our people busy by doing the programming in-house.

Regarding the multiple programmers connected to one PC... that will not fly
either for us. The solution has to be more user friendly - and just work ou=
t
of the box.=20

I'll check out the specific programmers mentioned in other posts.

 Thanks,

-- Mark

You might check into a service bureau to do this, depending on the quantity=
..
I have a run of another vendors processor, looking at about 3K of them, I
was quoted .35 ea including putting them back on the reel after.
Considering time is money, and I just programmed 200 of them by hand, that'=
s
a pretty good deal.

Subject: [PIC] Gang programmer recommendation

Hi All,

Looking for a gang production programmer to do 4 or more PICs at a time.
Unit would mainly see 12F508 DIPs, and a few other DIP package 16F and 18F
parts.

Anyone have experience with some of the offerings out there? Thanks for any
advice.
