Okay, I suppose we might be having similar experiences here. I'm not at
all opposed to providing the hexdump of my home made 3.00.40. I guess
I can mail Andrew about that this evening.
One notable difference is that my two original microchip is its a
17c44 @ 25MHz with UV erase windows. While the newer controllers
are 17c44s @ 33MHz with no erase windows.
Is anyone using picstart plus firmware 3.10 with picp?
Maybe I should just give-in and purchase the upgrade from a on-line
source.
