PIC-16Fxxx-Programmer 2.4
The software programs ('burns') midrange Flash-ROM-Controller PIC 12Fxxx/16Fxxx from Microchip using a serial port of the PC. Furthermore, it offers a simple debugger and the ability to tune the oscillator.
The package also includes board layouts for an inexpensive programmer module and three test modules.
Requires: Windows 98 or better, 15 MByte disk space, serial port.
(Since the program does only use Windows standard functions it seems to work with 'WinE' under Linux, too.)
