Thanks

The programmer is designed by engineers of a finnish IT magazine, which they released to the magazine and to the web. So it is not any common model. The program that uses the programmer is too written by them. http://www.mbnet.fi/nettijatkot/2002/03/rakentelu/

first link under "Kopioitavat tiedostot" leads to circuit board model with EAGLE. The third is for Visual basic source code.

In the program you can define only if watchdog is on, choose to verify written data and repair errors and choice of oscillator.

This is first chip im trying to program and i have checked connections with multimeter.
Unfortunately i dont have another oscillator.. and theres not oscilloscope to test it. One thing pops to my mind: the wires to oscillator are about 6cm long, could it be bad? As a poor student i have kind of home made breadboard and it is not too easy to solder close to the PIC.
