Giving up on my efforts to program a 12F675 with my antique EPIC programmer. Just ordered a Pickit3.

So my next question is I may have to also update my PBP as well ? (I have version 2.46a).

And finally --

I may give up on the 12F675 all together -- only bought it because it seems popular and low cost -- I just need it for a very simple LED controller.

Can anyone think (possibly) of another PIC that comes in an 8pin DIP with just a few ports -- hopefully with an internal osc (but an external rc would be ok) that is easily programmed with the EPIC and PBP 2.46a ?
