ICD Feature of Microcode Studio Pro is not working

[Archangel]

Thanks for your direction. As it turns out the lab- x1 board has the all the necessary components wired right on the board. All I need is a DB9 cable. As usual, I was impatient and wanted to see the ICD work before doing the required reading.

P.S. The Microcode Studio Plus does support the 16F877A.

Yes the PLUS does ! The STD version does not.
I did not buy the extra cost plus version, I have only the STD version supplied with ver. 2.47 PB Pro.
