And no, before you ask, Parallax will not release that proprietary code to you so you can burn your own, 'cheap' BS2 clone. That's Parallax's bread and butter, and they guard it very closely. Rightly so, in my opinion.
Now, having said that, there ARE other products that will let you use off-the-shelf PIC parts. A quick search on PIC should get you some sources. If you do this, it might be a good idea to spend the $150 or so for a BOE with BS2, so you can try stuff. The BS2 architecture and Parallax support are some of the best in this industry. And I say this as a 3 year veteran of the small processor industry.
