My client wouldn't buy from anybody but Microchip. So we bought another brand-new ICD2 thru Digikey. While it would talk to my XP, it could not interface with ANY PIC device. This is my 2nd DOA in a year from Microchip. Just a warning... your troubles MIGHT not be you if you are trying to get a new ICD2 running. --Bob A -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
