Hi,

I too have been seeing several clone designs for the ICD2, and was toying with the idea of building one.

This is where I need some advice; I currently use the ICD built into the Microcode Studio. What exactly are the advantages of using a hardware ICD?

Also, can one use the hardware ICD2 with Microcode Studio effectively, or must one shift to MPLAB to achieve its fullest potential?

Regards,

Anand
