I aquired a Microchip Promate programer. It looks like
it works. However I can't communicate with it with the
software that is available via download from the Microchip
website.

It reports version 2.04 code opon powerup which I believe is
pretty old. Does anyone know what the current version
of code is in the programer. I am thinking that the newer versions
of development sofware might not recoginize this old version
of firmware in the Promate.

Anyone have any ideas. I have no documentation with the unit at all
and I don't see anything much on the Microchip website.
