Hi david,

If it is the same as the microchip ICD then it needs to get its power
supply from the target. Hope its comething simple like this. From
what I've read here on the PIClist the coil is controlled by the micro
on the ICD to generate Vpp, so quite likely it only produces it when
required. Have fun!
