The latter will only let you trace but have run control to stop or do 
other actions (dump rom and memory spaces).  Sometimes there are tricks 
to dump the memory space w/o ICE, but still nice to have an idea what is 
going on and being able to dump registers, etc.

BTW ICE is more useful for development and finding design flaws rather 
than troubleshooting.  Saying this as an employee of a maker of an ARM, 
Intel x86 / x64, Itanium and AMD processors.

The other ICE I had (may have survived) is two Z8 boxes, and a few of 
the Intel ICEs for 286 and 386.

Having the processor not functional means it isn't likely that the ICE 
will do anything w/o applying effort to figure why it goes nuts in the 
first place.

If you are after bit rot, however it might be nice to use.

I am guessing you put up the same complaint over on Twitter?

Do you have any parts of the MDS, or were you looking for the entire rig 
with the 8085 ICE?  A friend has a ton of parts from a scrapping 
operation eon ago, could check with him if you have a working MDS to see 
if he has any complete ICE for that.

thanks
