Hi, Seeing as Microchip have knocked 30% off the cost of the ICD2, I'm thinking about buying one. Has anyone had any experiences (good or bad) with buy.microchip.com or the ICD2? Now, on to my other question - the ICD2. I know what the ICD2 is, but are they really as useful as Microchip claim? How reliable are the ICD2s? Also, I'm going to buy the "base kit" (DV164005) - will I need a power supply as well, or does the ICD2 take its power from the USB port?
