This is what i was trying to tell you at the last meeting, the normal
release version of pk2cmd isn't terribly up to date, but the microchip
web forums have updated copies of the devices.dat file to make it
support the very latest chips.

The PICs in the starter kit dont need to worry about this as they have
been pre-installed with a serial port bootloader.
