I've been debugging with this particular chip for about a month now, using an ICD2. The connection is a bit of a kludge, ICD cable to an RJ jack, about 4 inches of wire to molex connector and pin headers on the board. I've had the occasional verify error that I chalked up to cable issues. Recently I've been getting more verify errors (sometimes none - sometimes several in a row) I'll be shipping this out in a couple days and I was trying to decide if it was going to die in the customer's hands. -Denny -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
