I thought the boards had an ICD2 connector? I have an ICD2 and was never planning to use the MikroICD.
I don't think it's that big of a deal if you want to use the LCD on other pins other than port D...after all, you can't expect them to make it so you can wire everything to everywhere!
EDIT: Oh, I see, not all their boards have an ICD2 connector. But the ones I am interested in do.
I have a question...

THe manufacturer website says the graphic LCD isn't included, but Circuit-ED says it is?
Then I'd order from circuit ed! I still think that is way too much for this board, though.
Mikro reminds me of Microsoft; they seem like they want to manipulate, and force you into using all of their products, which seem NOT to play well with anyone else's products.
I was looking for a link to a board I got in Korea, but it seems the company has changed, and stopped producing these. (They are now doing something similar to Mikro.)
Anyway, the thing was around 50 bux, and came with a 4.000000 MHz canned oscillator, 8 push buttons, 8 slide switches, 8 LEDs with resistors built in, piezo, a 24lc04 EEPROM, a ds1302 - includes watch crystal, a ds 1620, and sockets for 8, 18, 20, 28 skinny, and 40 pin DIPs, as well as a small (45cm x 80 cm) bread board. All of the peripherals have IDC connector strips so that you can plug wires in, like on a bread board. I'm thinking of R.E.ing this one, as it is a really nice board.
Edit: I almost forgot: max232, and all the HW for that, and 4 high quality linear pots.
