I'm using the Chamaleon Pod which pretends to be a Macraigor Raven. This 
works well with ocdremote and ocd commander. I can't go faster than 
speed 6, but seems quite stable.

The main diadavantage I find with using Insight (gui based gdb) and 
debugging from flash is the lack of proper hardware breakpoint support.
Debugging this way is really pretty crappy (using gdp console to put in 
hardware breakpoints by hand), and for that reason alone I might have to 
recommend buying a debugger. A pity really.
Has Insight any near term prospects of being able to support hardware 
breakpoints from the gui ?
