I believe this will prove to be a convenient time saver. thanks for comments, nice to know our free software is useable :) yiou should be also able to use our windows software for the same programmer hardware. get picw.zip from our site and install com84.drv manually. We have currently no time to update our win programming tools, but they will come. at this more pressure is on avr and atmel programming tools. antti PS we try to support our free software, so in case of questions pls send mail to support@sistudio.com or join our mailinglist -- Silicon Studio Ltd. -- http://www.sistudio.com
