Electronics > Beginners
Recreating mod chip designed for the Playstation 1.
Gyro:
USB parallel ports also aren't capable of the s/w 'bit bash' manipulation like the old LPT ports used to be. Things like Tait rely on this.

How can I keep an eye out for ones made by Sure Electronics so as to avoid them? Any telltale signs to look out for? Looking at PICKIT3's on Ebay right now and the kinda just look the same.
KL27x:
They have a solid black case (and are only sold from Sure Electronics seller/store.)
Tommy DVP has the best clones if you want to do programming to go feature with 8 bit pics, out of my experience with the genuine and 3 different clones. It's more stable than even the genuine one I have. (They all crash, eventually, needing a reboot. Some clones this happens nonstop. I have multiple copies of 2 non-Sure clones, and this is not a fluke; it is consistent behavior between the different devices, trying every available firmware suite revision a few years back.)
The Sure Electronics has had major issues with the Vtarget which I dunno if they have ever fixed, satisfactorily. I'm pretty handy, but I never got mine to work at all, despite there is info out there that apparently fixes some of them.
Katcher:
Well I can't seem to find any Sure Electronic ones on Ebay(good thing I suppose) but I can't seem to find these Tommy DVP ones you mentioned. But even then I guess anyone that isn't a Sure Electronic one is good enough right?
KL27x:
For your purposes, yeah. The black one was the only one I ever found sketchy.
I took a quite gander at eBay. I thought there may be a difference because you're in scotland, but I think the problem is I'm giving you 4 year old information. :)
I don't even see the variety I used to. One said "kit3" on the front, instead of "PICKit3." It looks like some of them have died off.
