I purchased an ICD2 from www.sparkfun.com they are a distributor for
olimex, and they are based out of Colorado (I think).  I've had great
luck with all of their stuff.  The ICD2 is ~$94 and is the same as
Microchip's.  The only difference I've seen is the use of a 6-pin header
(Olimex) instead of the modular telephone connector (Microchip).

Depending on the chip you may be able to use the ICD1 also available
from Olimex (~$35).  It is still supported using MPLAB v5.7 but not in
v6.x.  I'm using it right now with a 16f877A, and it works like a champ.

Go and see at www.olimex.com
There is another solution: build your own ICD2! Have a look at

PICLIST@MITVMA.MIT.EDU Objet : [PICLIST] [PIC]: Wanted Microchip ICD2


 All,

 Does anyone have a Microchip ICD2 they would be willing to part with
for
 <$80.00 USD?   A friend (and student) needs one and is low on funds.
 If anyone has one, let me know please.


                                            Thanks and Regards,

                                                   Jim
