Actually I have a working icd-2 on another computer. testing good board with target power supply for target MCU Microchip's ICD-2: Target Vdd =3D5.04 Target Vpp =3D 12.78 Mplab ICD 2 Vpp =3D 12.78 HKG ICD-2: Target Vdd =3D5.47 Target Vpp =3D 14.14 Mplab ICD 2 Vpp =3D 14.06 Ray On Fri, 23 Nov 2007 22:31:35 -0800 (PST), Funny NYPD wrote: >=A0What version of MPLAB are you using? >=A0The pain of the neck for ICD2 is: downloading OS for different >=A0PICs.
