MPLAB=AE ICD Firmware Upgrade for PIC16F87xA Devices
  =20
A special version of firmware is available that allows the MPLAB ICD to=20
debug and program the PIC16F877A/876A/874A/873A devices.=20
Download the v2.40.01 firmware below and load as the new OS into your=20
MPLAB ICD. MPLAB IDE will not show the PIC16F87xA devices in the=20
device selection pulldown, but if a PIC16F87xA device is detected by=20
MPLAB ICD and the corresponding PIC16F87x device is selected, then the=20
firmware will automatically adjust for the PIC16F87xA device.

In summary: To develop for the PIC16F876A, for instance, download and=20
update the MPLAB ICD with the v2.40.01 firmware, then
select the PIC16F876 device from the MPLAB IDE dialog. To go back to
development/programming of the PIC16F876, simply
reset the MPLAB ICD and it will sense that a PIC16F876 is the target=20
device and re-adjust appropriately.

Now if they'd add the 18F8720 family, I'd be even happier
At least I can now program the 16F876A devices I bought 6 months ago.
