Although here in good old europe the PicKit2 is delivered without the ICSP/RJ11 cable provided, I'll try the hack using the J14 jack. By the way: During this procedure, is the Ex16=board to be powered up someways externally ? Unfortunately MPlab IDE 7.50 shipped with european delivery of the Ex16 doesn't provide support for PicKit2. I'll try the more recent 8.xx version. Can't back up hardware, but the Zdiode extension is a real good idea (no RISC, no fun :-)) Finally I've to say that me too like Cy is wonderin' why microchip .... and so on. Best regards Reinhard PS: Please apologize if there's something misspelled, my knowledge of the english language isn't as half as big I want it to be. Hello,
