As long as you are doing real-mode software it is pretty good.  You can
set code trace points and it executes very fast.  You can also set 
break points on read or write to memory addresses or ranges.  If you
have used CED then you are familiar with it's basic interface.  If you
use and like CodeView get Nu-Mega's Magic CodeView (or whatever they
call it).  It takes up almost no memory in your 640K application space.
And, it's much cheaper than a regular ICE.
