Hi Guys

Don’t tell me you don’t think it’s beautiful!



I got a couple on eBay because... vintage collector... but then found of course the PicKit II doesn’t support them.
I haven’t looked hard, but suspect they need a high voltage programming pin for EPROM.
The PicKit II does however retrieve a device ID, which suggests they are ok.

I’m not even certain PBP supports these, but if not, I’m sure a program disassembly for a close relative could be easily ported for it.

Does anyone remember these, and a homebrew programmer the supported them? PicALL? The earlier official programmers like Picstart were not cheap!

Incidentally, I have at least one SP0256 on the way, if anyone remembers that. It’s a speech synthesiser which was well covered in some projects
in my first PicBASIC programming book.. but I never did own one.
