But if the extra pins are for the USB & LED's, it should not be
that big a deal to disassemble the code and modify it to run
on ICD1 hardware.

Anyone have quick pointers to the ICD2 schematic and hex file?
I don't suppose anyone has disassembled the ICD1 & 2 code yet.
I expect that 90% of it will be the same except for the USB.
Or are there more substantial differences about ICD2 hardware?

Hmmm, DIY ICD2 with nothing more than a firmware update to ICD1.
Hadn't thought of that approach. If the mountain won't come to
Mohhamed....
