Hi,
  Does anyone know if any of the homebrew PIC programmers can program dsP=
ICs?
I was going to order a few mid- to high-end dsPICs for testing - obviousl=
y no
good if I can't get a low-cost programmer that supports them.
  Failing that, has anyone built an ICD2 clone from the schematics that a=
re
floating around? Is it worth building/buying an ICD2 instead of hacking t=
he
WISP628 firmware (and Wisp2) to program dsPICs?
  Also, if I do decide to buy an ICD2 (probably the =A390 base kit), am I=
 going
to need to buy a power supply in addition to the ICD2, or is it capable o=
f
powering itself from the USB port? Am I going to need any other
Mchip-proprietary bits (socket modules, adapters, etc) to use the ICD?
  Finally, are there any known glitches in the ICD2 that I should be awar=
e of
before I blow the best part of =A3100 on an ICD?

Later.
