I agree in that the ICD2 is not something I would classify as "reliable".
Fortunately there is no need for it anymore anyway.  Get a RealICE, they're
pretty cheap.  A real ICE is still better, but the RealICE at least seems to
work as intended.  I have heard that the ICD3 has some of the same circuitry
as the RealICE and also has the same reliability, but I haven't tried one
myself.  I don't see the point since it's only a subset of the RealICE.

(What a stupid name.  The RealICE is not a real ICE.  It's a in circuit
debugger, but one that actually works.)
