Both of the 40 pin offerings can be programmer serially. Maybe it's possible to create the 5 pin interface necessary to do that on a daughterboard? BTW can someone make the MPSTART.EXE software (V3.04) available to me? I went to the Microchip seminar yesterday and got a PICSTART 16B but I don't have a 1.44 3.5" floppy at home and of course the software is on a disk of that format. Bummer. The BBS has the assembler and the simulator but not the MPSTART software. I can get it ftp or you can mail it to me in most any format. THe former would be preferable. Thanks, BAJ

My board is marked 04-01315 rev2. The Firmware chip is marked Picstart-16B firmware rev 1.4. The copyright is 1992. The location of the 40pin socket is market u8. Can serial programming be done using the Picstart Board as the programmer?. (Perhaps this is refrasing your last question). Ian H.
