Pickit3 and PICkit Serial vs. PICkit2

[Rufus]

I had a laugh at the video blog telling me how my PICkit3 was not the
great investment it could have been, and how I've gotten (mostly)
lesser functionality than the PICkit2.

When I plugged in my PICkit serial, I accidentally hosed it by
unplugging it during a firmware upgrade. but when I popped it open, I
saw it had a set of ICSP feedthrough holes and reprogrammed it easy as
you please.

Curious, I popped open my PICkit 3, and if the pins I think are the
ICSP are the ones I saw, THEY'VE EVEN CHANGED THE PIN SPACING.

When I heard that PICkit 2 had an analyzer function and could be
hooked up to non-MPLAB development systems, I got even more ticked.

So it made me curious: Is the PICkit Serial Analyzer a PICkit2 in
disguise?

The schematics for both are published in the respective user manuals. I
think the circuits
are substantially the same but there may be differences with pullup
resistors and other
minor changes.

They are similar, but different. PKSA likely started with the PICkit 2
design and made some minor modifications.
