    We use Nohau 8051 and 80251 emulators here. Reliable, good features, reasonably priced. I don't know if they have 167, but you can check them at http://www.nohau.com. They are compatible with Keil software, C and assembler.

    I am using the i-system emulator. I have decided to buy it, because it is good for a reasonable price. I have also been considering hitex and another, pretty cheap brand that I don't remember. WHat I like is the software (WinIDEA) that comes with the ICE. It is fully compatible with the Keil C and assembler. check http://www.isystem.com

    I've used Hitex at two different companies. They are good products. My biggest complaint is that they mount on the chip using flex cable and produce a bulky package. If you want to debug on your final product, you will have to leave space for the pod or develop a test fixture which is equivalent. They did have an emulator that plugged in to an inline connector instead of using the flex cables, but I don't know if the product is still available.

    The iSystem POD is big too and it is connected with ribbon cable. I have been working with a Hitex ICE in anotehr company. I wouldn't compare the iSystem and the Hitex, because the Hitex is way older... it just wouldn't be fair. I don't know their newer products, but their stuff is high priced. the iSystem ICE is fair price, I think. I didn't pick any low price product, when I was trying to find the best ICE for our needs, because the software was not so great and the ICE was not very versatile. I think, if you want to test a product with an ICE, a low price ICE would eb good enough, since plugging it in and out a 1000 times will wear it out too.

    I do not know if they support your uC, but the best value for money you get from ceibo (http://www.ceibo.com)

    Stay cool
