IMHO most serial port programmers should work with PIC microcontrollers. I'm using gputils and a simple home-made programmer that can program a pic16f84a without removing it from the application circuit. Here is the schematic and the software: http://caoua.org/picprog/picprog.tar.gz feel free to contact me if you have questions about the circuit or if you have experiences to share. cheers, -- Alexandre
