It is glad to know that you are planning to add more chips to the
EasyISP. I understand that it takes time. 

Just one more thing, I heard that EasyProg itself does support
the dsPICs. Someone is working on it but I have not heard from
him for quite sometime.

Another possibility to use a bootloader. Since the OP has access
to an ICD2, it would be okay in this case. One of the fellow
PIClist member has written a bootloader for 30F4011. Maybe I can 
persuade him to publish the bootloader even though we think that 
the host application VB codes need to be polished. I was trying to 
port his bootloader to 30F2010 but I decided to learn USB stuff 
first. PIC FS USB is also much more worth the money than dsPICDEM 
28-pin starter demo board. Anyway it is still in my plan.

As for the dsPICDEM 28-pin demo board, there is not much inside
and I think it is not that difficult to build on a prototype
board. Actually I think it can be finished in one day. Of
course one needs to get the samples of dsPICs ready first 
and the RS232 interface IC (can be replaced by MAX232). 

Regards,
Xiaofan

Just PIC10Fs. I really need to get around to running WinMerge over the
"base"
version of the code I used to make EasyISP and the new EasyProg firmware.. I
think it's time I added a few more chips to the support list..

No ETA yet - it's a spare time project, so it's quite low on the to-do list
(right after "stuff that I get paid to do" and "stuff I really should finish
off someday"). I've got an ICD2, so I don't really use the Wisp628s much
anymore (I've got two - one homebrew, one built from the voti.nl kit). The
homebrew one runs EasyISP, the voti.nl one runs the standard Wisp628
firmware.

Later.

Olin's EasyProg firmware provides enough functionality to program the
dsPIC, just not in the most efficient manner. So programming the dsPIC
on the EasyProg will take a little longer than on the ProProg, but it
should be quite usable.
