EB006 programmer has ICSP posibility?

I am newbie here, so please forgive me if this topic has replied already.
I have the MPLAB ICD and the MPLAB ICD2, both useless because i had never time to waste in learning the complex assembly language of RISC micros. Instead, i have enough experience with the old micros of ST which off the assembly has a most rich set of comands, like MULTIPLY and DIVIDE. Now i am turned in Flowcode Pro, i have discused with your local distributor in Greece, and in the next month i will proceed in the purcase of Flowcode V4 Pro. As i have seen your programmers are offered in very good prices, so there is no reason to i mess up again with the MPLAB ICD2. Probably, i will sell both MPLABs.
I don't make experiments with micros, i have not time for this. For example, this moment i am building a control board for an Audio Preamplifier with remote control posibility. My PCB is ready, including a set of 6 push buttons, a 2 X 40 LCD display, an IrdA receiver at 36KHz, a PIC18F4520 to avoid external XTAL, three ULN2003 to drive the peripherals and a pinstrip of 5 pins for ICSP programming on the target board.
I asked your distributor - which is a nice guy - about the posibility of EB006 for ICSP - although i think this is an issue of PIC micro and not of programmer - and he told me to place a question in your forum about this for confirmation.
Another one question that i have is this: My current PC it runs under XP x64 and the demo version of Flowcode that i have installed on it, it runs without problem. Has EB006 or any other of your programmers posibility - drivers - to run under x64?

Kind Regards

Hello

In answer to your questions yes the EB006 supports ICSP but you will have to create a custom cable.

The EB006 also is fully compatible with 64-bit systems and v7 of the board now comes with ICD as standard when used with Flowcode v4.
