No, sorry, I don't know what is different. The clone worked intermittently,
and the ICD2 worked without any problems ever. (This was an ICSP
application.) BTW, this is the clone I'm talking about:
http://www.angelfire.com/linux/kitpic/ 

I'm pretty sure that the ICD2 does not generally use Vdd control, because
many of my boards I can program both with the ICD2 providing Vdd and the
board providing Vdd. Doesn't seem to make a difference.
