Thoughts? The ICD2 with the Universal Programming Module has worked out very well here; in addition to programming loose parts in the ZIF socket, the wires that plug to pins on the UPM will also plug on header pins I put on a prototype, allowing ICP without exotic connectors. The debug capabilites are a plus, as well. Apparently there are devices that this combination will handle that the PICStart won't. mdr -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
