PIC Programmers For Modern Computing and Operating Systems.
I have an Windows 8 operating system on an notebook computer. I like to work with some of the older PICs, such as the 16F series, and I like having an bare bones burner to program them with (upload the hex file) Basically something (an circuit board) -- that is twice to treble the size of an matchbox, plugs into the USB port and has an ZIF socket to insert the chip for programming. My current programmer is exactly just as I describe, but only works for Windows XP and Win 7 (32-bit)
My question: What are my options for an cheap solution to run on Windows 8?
