There are a few designs around that use just a few components (a number listed at
http://home.att.net/~wzmicro/pic_link.htm). I'm helping James Kingdon with the
jpp877 software (http://www.kingdon5.freeserve.co.uk/jpp877/jpp877.html) so that
it supports a number of tait-style (parallel port) and serial port programmers.

I'll be writing a driver for Tony's ASCII programmer for jpp877 but be
forwarned: programming a '877 with the ASCII programmer (at 1200 baud) will be
really slow. I'm mainly doing it because I've alread built the hardware so I can
use it to test my first driver for a serial port programmer.
