Hi,

Thanks for the information (that is to everyone!)....

I just had a conversation with a distributor who sell an alternative to=
 the
ICD, made by the company (according to what I was told) Transdata who
actually designed the serial version of the ICD for MCHIP .

The company, Transdata, went on to offer what appears to be a parallel-=
port
version of the ICD allowing much faster programming/debug times than fo=
r
the serial device. It interfaces with MPLAB and has its own Windows fro=
nt
end which, on first impression, looks more professional than MPLAB.....=
and
supports most C compilers etc. It is a little more expensive @ ~=A3130+=
VAT.

Does anyone any experience with this product? Do you think it is better=

value?
Any compatibilty problems? I have been using an serial ICD but no longe=
r
have access to it. With short timescales, I'd prefer to almost pick up
where I left off rather than have a learning exercise for a new
"environment"....but I do like the idea of it being faster.

Transdata hardly look like a dodgy outfit as they produce emulators for=

Mitsubishi M16/RICE etc

Regards,

Dan
