cool , i can help ya with the assembly(if ya got the unassembled kit).?
i assembled it in one night , and it took about two weeks on and off to get it to work...(insert blushing smiley)
mine came with an unprogrammed chip , luckily i ordered two..
and i was able to duplicate (program) two other chips , with the software needed to program other (target)chips..
one thing if ya got the unassembled kit , do not solder the crystal too close to the circuit board , leave enough of the leads between the circuit board and the crystal to raise it about the height of the f877A
