Original ICD2 - What headers are needed?

atferrari said:

I would like to have one ICD2 but have no experience with it.

Price is a consideration, but have read (without understanding much about) that different "headers" are needed to cover the different micros.

Can anyone clarify this briefly?

a) don't ask me to look into the MC documents. Did already but without some pevious insight I couldn't understand what I actually should buy, besides the ICD2 itself.

b) $$$ to afford one, are limited here but don't suggest clones. I don't consider them for the moment.

Bringing something to this place, passing Customs who always consider this as nuclear material and asking lot of $$$ in arbitrary ways, makes easier going to the local MC representative and buy one.

Imagine what has been in the last 30 years being subscriptor to foreign electronics magazines. Better to buy them in the press stand, paying 4 times its value and not dealing with a corrupt postal system where 2 or 3 off 12 don't reach my home.

You will be surprised how much it costs to buy one IC selected from the Farnell catalog and put on the counter some 25 days later...!

A digression: as a young Chief Officer I had the chance (and the money) to buy my Yaesu transceiver (FT901DM).

When entering the country the best they found was to ask me paying duties as if I was importing a receiver AND a transmitter.

If in the future, I am given the chance to be born again, I will accept on the condition of being able to choose where to go. Imagine where I will not....

Enough said.
