Phil,

I am using an ICD2 with a dsPICDEM 1.1 board, works just fine as far as I
can see. If you wish to power the target system from the ICD2 RJ-11 ICSP
port, then you need to connect the ICD2 power supply, which is just a 9v
thing with a standard barrel connector. You may have something suitable
already.
