Hi everybody

  I know there was a recent discussion of this topic on the Piclist,
but at the time I didn't really pay much attention and now I whish
that I did!  :(

I wanted to upgrade to MPLAB v3.10 because this was supposed to
support my newly aquired PCB & PCM C compilers from CCS.  Only now
that I upgraded, I find that I can't communicate with the  PICSTART
Plus programmer anymore.    I am using the recommended Picstart
plus software v1.20.07.

Does anybody else have the same problem, or is my Picstart Plus
programmer faulty?  I know there is also an upgrade hex file
available from the Microchip website for upgrading the firmware, but
I assumed this was only neccessary if you wanted your programmer to
support all the latest hardware.  Will my problems dissapear if I buy
a new 17C44 and upgrade my firmware?

I'm going to try and go back to my previous version of MLAB V3.01
now, because version 3.09 is no longer available from Microchip's
website.  Hopefully my programmer will start to work when I do this,
but this seems to be my only hope.... or is it?

Regards
Werner





  PICSTART Plus v1.20.07 requires MPLAB v3.10 or greater.  PICSTART
  Plus v1.20.07 will not work with older versions of MPLAB, and MPLAB
  v3.10 will not work with older versions of PICSTART Plus. These
  versions include compatibility checks to ensure that version
  requirements are met.
