ICD2 supported chips

Is there a list anywhere (and I assume it would be a Microchip one) that lists all the chips that can be used with an icd2 and MPlab?

I've just purchased one, and wanted to check what pics I should be using.

My play around learning projects so far (self taught - be afraid, be very afraid) use PIC12F683-I/P and PIC16F688-I/P.

They work with the pickit2 I use so far and they are cheap

The 683 for example was perfect for a very simple project, where the 40pin jobbies would be complete overkill.
 
note that the ICD2 supports the vast majority of PICs. All the new ones are supported. however, you will discover that there are 2 forms of support - program and debug. Some PICs, especially the smaller ones, don't support debugging.

Cheers William - I knew it existed, it was where to look

for anyone else interested it's here
 
and yaaaaaaaay, both my play chips are supported - but I know i loose some pins, and only have 6 to play with on 683
 
Depending on what you're using the pins for you might not lose them at all, if you connect them bearing in mind the ICD connection - obviously you can't do debugging and use them, but you can do programming.

like the two i am using. dohh
 
Yes, for through-hole only, I believe. I don't think's terribly unreasonable pricing - I doubt they are making any profit on it.

The subject of not losing the pins in general is an area of interest to me. I'm still fairly fuzzy about how to do "isolation". I typically try to put switches on those lines and use the internal pull-ups but sometimes that just doesn't work.
