I think there are some good DIY alternatives around. But there's also some disappointing ones too. The KIT pictured below from DSE ain't too bad. Supports a few PICs and some EEPROMS. Comes with no software though. However it's portable - battery or plug pack operated, includes a ZIF socket and some nice power supply protection which makes it almost impossible to damage any PIC, but the problem still remains, you can buy something already made that's much more powerful for about the same money. The KIT would do much better @ $25 AUS

" Program all the latest 8-pin and 18-pin devices, including the PCI16F628A and PIC12F629. "
Must we understand it's a stoneage device ????

Why insist on using 32 Bits when you're not even able to deal with the first 8 ones ??? ehhhhhh ...

IF there is the word "Problem" in your question ...
certainly the answer is " RTFM " or " RTFDataSheet " !!!

Nah - it's only a few years old actually. DSE sales staff always write like that. The problem is that half of them really aren't technical people but instead just copywriters. They probably wouldn't know the difference between a resistor and a PIC16f628a.
