Tim, All,

I have used the ICD for about two years or so now, and I think it's very
much worth having.
I have used it to develop software (Firmware) for not only the '877, but for
the '71, 54, 57,
12C672, 12C509, etc., etc.  It's a very good tool as far as I'm concerned.
And the cost is
minimal considering what you get for your money.   This tool, along with a
PIC Start Plus
programmer, and a third party development board make up my basic PIC lab.  I
have done
many jobs with this complement of equipment, both for my own projects, and
for projects
where I work.   I have recently written firmware for a 12C509 in a project
at work.
Including this implementation, I now have 4 PIC designs implemented and
either in production
or in preproduction getting ready for full production.  This all in just
over a year.
So if I were you, I wouldn't hesitate getting an ICD.  I believe you won't
regret it.


Happy Holidays...


Regards,


Jim
