It's good to know that there are more JTAG debuggers available, but
please keep company product announcements in separate threads.

And if you are looking for a cheap open source debugger that is also
open source, I can recommend the bus blaster
(http://dangerousprototypes.com/docs/Bus_Blaster). It's openocde
compatbible, costs $35 for a preassembled, or you can download the
layout files, schematic and firmware and build one yourself
