Hint: the Xwisp2.cfg file is a simple ASCII text file ....
It is basically a matter of scanning the datasheets for properties 
(memory sizes etc) and the programming specifications datasheet to find 
out if it follows one of the programming algorithms supported by Wisp628 
(and which) and determine the device ID and proper config word(s) 
mask.....
Wisp628 has only one programming algorithm for the 18Fs, which works for 
most of the 18Fs except some of the newer, but the config words are 
mostly different.

Thanks, I'll see if I can manage...
