Hi there,

I guess this issue is resloved now.

For reference however you can get a very cheap PIC programmer and debugger from microchip now :-

Search for PG164120 on the microchip website.

I know you can get them in the UK for £17 and in the US for
$35.

I would not suggest you buying one just to update a PIC on the MiniMig but the option is there and it will allow development and programming on PIC Micros too!

You could program it with an IC Socket, Five wires and a little berg header.

I can post you those bits.

As others say getting a PIC programmer for this issue is overkill.

I could send you a PICStart2 that is gathering dust round here. I am in the UK however, somebody in your own country can help I guess.

I have been developing using PICs for well over 10 years by the way !
