Hi Bob, i'm developing a range of products using mainly PIC12C's and i would rather spend the minimum on an ICE now, i'll be able to afford the top of the line ICE later when i see money coming in I've come across some really cheap ICE's for the PIC12C50x going for under 60 british pounds. Can hardly get a good reply from them so i'd expect the same for tech support service :( What i wanted to know is if anybody has come across a *really* cost effective ICE that works and what were their experiences with it.
