The circuit below is my PIC programmer and prototyping board.

It plugs into a Printer port af an Amiga and with an adapter, a PC*.

It has an LCD display that is detachable, PCB connectors to allow easy access to the PIC's I/O pins and a RESET switch.

It is compatible with the EPIC & hopefully the DEVPIC software for the Amiga and it works with David Tait's PIC84PROG software.

To use this circuit with a PC, I have devised an adapter which at the time of writing (30th april 2000), I am just finishing the testing of. I will publish the circuit here when it is complete.
