I am not so sure if it is working yet. I remember mine did not work for me back
in June this year. They were still working on the firmware. At that time I
came to a conclusion that we needed an ICD2.

Actually even ICD2 was too slow to debug the Explorer 16 board with the
dsPIC33 example program I tested. I am thinking that the upcoming
REALICE might be really necessary.

Now I have access to JTAG for TI MSP430s and TMS470s and they are
so much easier.
