ICD, 16F88, RB6,7 and crystal?

[William At MyBlueRoom]

Would a 32KHz crystal on a 16F88 RB6 & 7 *Timer1 cause a problem with an ICD2?

*I've changed my Cricket Thermostat to use the 16F8x (Cricket 88) on my site.

Note: The Timer1 oscillator shares the T1OSI
and T1OSO pins with the PGD and PGC
pins used for programming and
debugging.
When using the Timer1 oscillator, In-Circuit
Serial Programming™ (ICSP™) may not
function correctly (high voltage or low
voltage), or the In-Circuit Debugger (ICD)
may not communicate with the controller.
As a result of using either ICSP or ICD, the
Timer1 crystal may be damaged.
If ICSP or ICD operations are required, the
crystal should be disconnected from the
circuit (disconnect either lead) or installed
after programming. The oscillator loading
capacitors may remain in-circuit during
ICSP or ICD operation.

Just read the Datasheet

Wow that was fast, right I should rtfm.

I've been lucky to have an ICE for many of the PICs I've used.
