My pleasure,

You said 8052, well if it is 89c52 of Atmel then it will make your life easier.

Just go to <atmel.com>
search for the PC based parallel port programmer
build it
If you don't want to do it yourself, buy a programmer from <Danni...>, don't exactly remember, (Hay Pete, you can tell him).

To know the ins and outs for the hardware connections, again you can download lots of stuff from <atmel.com>. see the datasheet you will know what you can do with it, its easy. (if you already know a lot about hardware as you said)

Good Luck
