Yeah, and doesn't it roll off your desk all the time? Just a comment,
a friend of mine blew up his ICD2 within the first week of getting
it.

Apparently the power up sequence is very important. If the target
system is powered before the ICD2 then the buffer chip in the ICD2
can blow. Symptom is message "target not present". Tricky to replace
(SSOP package). According to the vendor he isn't the first to do
this.
