I ran into two problems. The first was using PN2222A and PN2907A transistors. When I mounted them in the PCB I followed the orientation of Mr. Touzet's implantation layout. It turns out that the pinouts for The PN2222A and PN2907A transistors is reversed. So simply flipping the four transistors solved the first problem.

The second was programming the F876 used to control the ICD. I didn't follow ETN-21 closely and neglected to check the ID locations and EEprom data check boxes. This caused the ICD to not toggle RC2 to generate the correct VPP voltage. It would still power up and communicate with the PC making me believe it was the circuit that was the problem.'
