well, I have spent my first  week using the ICD3 insead of the ICD2 /=20
clones.

I'm sold.

The ICD3 works faster and more reliably than the ICD2. Microchip should=20
have replaced the hockey-puck case, 'cause the ICD3 is a completely=20
different animal. Its like comparing a house cat. to a cheetah.

I am using it for PIC16F1829 and PIC16F1939. Neither of these .chips is=20
given the correct VPP voltage level by an ICD2. The  download speed is=20
5x+ the ICD2.The messages are more undersdtandable, too.

IT IS WORTH THE SWITCH!
