Hi Steve,
Thanks for the offer, I really appreciate it! (hex file sent off list)

For the record:
The hex file is for a 16F877 and compiles to 1502 words.
PICStart+ takes 28 seconds to flash the device.
MCS Bootloader takes ~2seconds to write the code to the device.

Now, I understand that the PICStart+ writes to all memory locations and the bootloader only to the ones actually being used by the program.

Anyway, looking forward to the results, if you can squeese it in - no rush!

And thank you VERY much for the retrofitting details on the EasyPIC4!
