Why not use a 68HC11 for the controller.|Delete 'P-' before: '' but after: '
It has duel config as a microcontroller (RAM ROM etc internal) and a microprocessor (External RAM ROM).
It also has a hardwired serial bootloader that supports the rs232 protocol (just requires a line driver such as max232).
All of the config options are selected using 2 pins MODA & MODB.
The controlling uP does not have to be a pic to program pics;-)
