No, it's regular JTAG. I can download to it using the parallel
port interface and msp430-jtag -- I just can't get
msp430-gdbproxy to recognize it using either the parallel or
USB interfaces under Windows or Linux.

Yup, I found some old threads in the mailing list that talked
about doing that.

Google found me the NoICE debugger page, and that looks like a
possibility. Source-level debugging is probably going onto the
back burner again for a while (I very rarely use it).
I eventually found my problem by adding application code to
capture some stuff to a RAM buffer and then dump it out using a
bit-banged "UART" when I detected a problem.
It turns out it was a bug in the MSP430 USCI UART HW design.
It's described in the part's errata sheet, but it took me a few
days to figure out that what I was seeing was what was being
described in the errata. I hate when that happens...
