I have recently started to use the same package you are using. If you are talking about using the ICD2 as a programmer to program PICs plugged into the PICDEM2 Plus board, you can use one of the cable that looks like a telephone cable except that there are 6 wires instead of 4. This cable should be incldued in the package. Just FYI. Mine comes with the following items in the box; ICD2, PICDEM2 Plus board, 9V DC power supply (Wall wart), USB cable (A <-> B), Serial cable, the 6-wire cable, CDs and Installation guide.
