For some years I have used a Shuttle PC running windows XP as my lab machine for debugging and programming mid range PICs such as the 16F87 and 16F87X using MPLAB 8.9. and an ICD2 Apart from the usual idiosyncrasies associated with Microchip products it serves me well even if it is a bit slow compiling. Earlier this year I bought a used Thinkpad laptop running Windows 8 (32 bit) and decided to use that as my lab machine since it was newer and faster and took up less desk space. So I installed MPl8.92, shifted the ICD2 and set about programming. Unfortunately programming under the debugger fails with the ICD0083 message. > > Its probably an older ICD2 that can't be updated to the later driver. I hav= e a couple of those - I upgraded to an ICD3. Somewhere on line there is a t= ech note that gives the serial numbers.
