I looked in the readme for 7.20 at Microchip (still using 6.4 and 7.0
here) and there's no mention of the dsPICs

I'd have hoped it could be done through the PUM but presumably
there's a h/w reason why the PS+ simply isn't capable. Not that I
wouldn't buy a second programmer (it would certainly come in
handy when working with different PICs in the same overall project
rather than swapping cables) but I can get by without an ICD2 for
now
