Microchip mplab ICD2 evaluation kit (w/picdem 2 plus)
I am currently selling this used Evaluation Kit from Microchip. It is in good working condition. The kit has all original paperwork, software, and hardware. I bought this kit in April 2005. I have used it for a number of school projects. I do not need it anymore. I have listed information below from Microchip's website. I have also included a link to Mouser's page on their catalog for this part. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Microchip MPLAB ICD2 Evaluation Kit (w/PICDEM 2 Plus)
This kit includes the MPLAB ICD 2 Evaluation Kit(DV164005), a PICDEM 2 Plus demonstration board, power supply, serial cable and USB cable.
An all-in-one debugger/programmer solution: MPLAB ICD 2 is a low cost, real-time debugger and programmer for selected PIC MCUs and dsPIC DSCs. Using Microchip Technology's proprietary In-Circuit Debug functions, programs can be downloaded, executed in real time and examined in detail with the debug functions of MPLAB. Set watch variables and breakpoints from symbolic labels in C or assembly source code, and single step through C source lines or into assembly code. MPLAB ICD 2 can also be used as a development programmer for supported MCUs.
The secret behind In Circuit Debugging is two dedicated hardware lines (microcontroller pins used only during debugging mode) that control In Circuit Serial Programming (ICSP ) of the device and, afterwards, debugging through proprietary, on-chip firmware. The ICD 2 debug features are built into the microcontroller and activated by programming the debug code into the target processor.
* USB (Full Speed 2 M bits/s) & RS-232 interface to host PC
* Real time background debugging
* MPLAB IDE GUI (free copy included)
* Built in over-voltage/short circuit monitor
* Firmware upgradeable from PC
* Supports low voltage to 2.0 volts. (2.0 to 6.0 range)
* Diagnostic LEDs (Power, Busy, Error)
* Reading/Writing memory space and EEDATA areas of target microcontroller
* Programs configuration bits
* Erase of program memory space with verification
* Peripheral freeze-on-halt stops timers at breakpoints
The MPLAB ICD 2 connects using USB or RS-232 between the design engineer's PC operating with MPLAB IDE and their product board (target) being developed. It acts as an intelligent interface/translator between the two, allowing the engineer to look into the active target board's microcontroller, viewing variables and registers at breakpoints with MPLAB watch windows. A breakpoint can be set to halt the program at a specific location. The program can be single-stepped or run at full speed. At breakpoints, data and program memory can be read and modified. Additionally, the MPLAB ICD 2 can be used to program or reprogram the Flash-based microcontroller while installed on the board.
