Hi,
See this link:
http://www.microchip.com/stellent/id...&part=UK003010
The PICSTART® Plus Flash Upgrade Module (PUM) is a PCB that contains
a PIC18F6720 device that has been programmed with the firmware needed
to provide support for a specific set of devices in the MPLAB® IDE.
My comment:
The PIC18F6720 device is the "workarounds" container.

Luciano, Workarounds container? Whats that all about? I have used my PUM for about a year or so with no dificulty. I have put it aside however because Microchip doesn't support all of there processors on it. I now use the ICD2 which supports all of there processors and I probably will never go back.

ICD-2 is a great programmer, far better than PICSTART for less money
PICSTART is a fair to good programmer. Got once a problem with the PUM. ICSP support is fair to good... BAD in few ocvcasion too.
The best investement i did is my BK Precision 844A (a relabeled of XYZ Elnec programmer) That's an universal programmer support is lifetime Free of charge and works like a charm ICSP or not. So last week i trash my Picstart and ICD-2, wich i consider now as a pure waste of money AND Even if an ICD could, in rare occasion, handy. There's so many other method to do serious DEBUG instead of using ICD.
Sure BK-844A is much expensive but do more than only PIC

It's not a bug, it's a random feature.
There's no problem, only learning opportunities.
