IMHO ex-circuit programming sucks for development work on Flash chips.
Switch to in-circuit programming, either by using the PS+ in-circuit
(might work, might not work), or by getting another progger (my Wisp628
for instance :). ICD2 is much more expensive than a basic in-circuit
progger, but it ads in-circuit debugging. I don't use a debugger very
often, but when you would use a debugger for a PC program you will
probably love in-circuit debugging.
