#162832 - So, ...

I didn't pick this chip. It came with the demo board.

So that just changes the question to: why did you pick a demo board with such a poorly documented and poorly supported chip?

The whole point of a demo board - as the name suggests - is to demonstrate the features of the chip.
If the demo board doesn't come with documentation or software to allow you to use the ISP, then it's pretty poor demo - isn't it?!

I guess i can purchase an Atmel or Phillip 8051 uC and switch it?

Possibly - but you'd have to check carefully that there's nothing on the board that's specific to the TOPRO and won't work with another derivative - or might even damage it...

I think it'd be safer to just buy a well-documented, well-supported board using a well-documented, well-supported chip?

the TOPRO is an 8051 core uC

But things like ISP are outside the "core"!
