Hello everybody. I have some experience with pics, pic basic, etc. but I was hoping someone with much more experience could comment on some stuff... Answer some questions which, I have been googling and stuff, but it isnt becomming totally clear. My questions are pretty easy, I think, for someone else to just say yes\no to. Here we go!

1. Does an ICD2 device program the USB Pic devices?(18f4550, etc)
2. Can I use protoboards designed for other 40 pin pics (ec 18f425) for my USB experiments? Just gotta add those extra components?
3. Does anyone know of protoboards that are specifically designed for the 18f4550? All I can find is boards with an FTDi rs232 chip, or boards just designed for general purpose 40-pin pics.

Thanks alot everone! I am at work and trying to be productive while brainstorming, cant sit on google searching! I am a new user. Please bear with me!
