Heckler
Ha! That is exactly what I have got. (well a slightly different but very similar UK version) I was planning to use the fets to drive the LEDs and steal the 5v rail etc. That is why I was trying to get it to work on a smaller pic than the 28 pin but I think there is room in the box for a 28 pin if I am neat and tidy. I opened mine up and removed the MCU which I promptly lost between the floorboards but I was intending to do my own prog so I can use potentiometers. Unfortunately I think I am going to have to go with a 28 pin with HWPWM to achieve it all though. No doubt I will blow it up at some point.
