usbsnoop is a very useful software, but doesn't work
on every version of windows. i used it succesfully to develop
a Linux driver.. i think i was running winblows 95 at that time.
my opinion is that Microchip tunnelled on USB
the same protocol used on the serial cable.. it's a quite
common option.
If this is the case, i could write the necessary support in
the kernel to expose the ICD to the userland.
To start, we need someone with an ICD2 and a Linux
machine to provide us with some useful data:
cat /proc/bus/usb
or
lsusb.
