Serial Port Pic Programmer using USB

Yes, but maybe it is better to use something like the 18F2455, but this depends on your project.

in most cases, the answer is yes. for instance, the ftdi family of chips simply adds an additional comm port when you plug in the USB to serial adapter.

It depends upon the software. There are some quirky differences in the behavior of the USB to serial adaptor vs. regular serial i/o.

In most cases yes how ever, Some USB to Serial converters are not 100% compatible and thus may effect the way the programmer works. Voltage levels is the number one rule... Some of these converters do not generate the expected out of voltage and current on the control lines that the programmer wants to see. Also, there are a few that do not support the control lines to 100%..

I think that was in the past when they were first introduced. All the = USB-serial adaptors I picked up inthe last year or so work without a = hitch. But its just as easy to pick up another one if one fails to work = correctly.
