Beware of some of the cheap clones from China.  I know someone who bought
one for a little less than 500USD and it was a ripoff of a Blackhawk
emulator.  It never worked right until we tried some Blackhawk drivers and
then amazingly it found a Blackhawk device ID and serial number embedded
in the device firmware.

We bought 2 XDS510 here http://www.gaotek.com/ on July 2007
No problem with shipping (in France),  the products were delivered in 2 
or 3 days.

It works fine still you connect to an USB2 Port.
(as fast as the Spectrum Digital XDS510PP+ I personally use).

I First Connect the probe to a USB1 HUB. Performances decrease 
drasticly. (No way to debug in this case..)

There is no problem with driver installation.

In certain circumstances, we still use CCS 1.20.
Theses probes are only compatible with CCS 2.0 and later.

Hope this helps.

Hi everybody,
my company needs to buy a couple of XDS510USB JTAG adapters to replace 
the old parallel version. I found some much cheaper compatible devices 
on the net (< USD500), but I've no idea about their reliability...
Could you please recommend some of them based on your direct experience?
Thank you in advance.
