Thanks for the thoughts.  :-)  Actually, I have the ICD2 from Microchip, 
and it seems to work just fine (once I managed to get the drivers 
installed correctly).  My interest in putting together a clone version 
of the same thing is more along the path of fun than of necessity.   And 
perf board construction is more up my alley -- I doubt that I could 
produce a PCB if my life depended on it.
