Hi All

I get the same sort of problems since I upgraded to FW 3.0.  The PS+ works
fine with the older FW.  Since the only change to the system was going from
FW2.3 to FW3.0 I can pretty safely conclude that the problem lies with the
new FW.

I sent a message to tech support at Microchip but got back a generic answer

'Make sure you have the FIFO box not checked.  All of our suggestions for
communication problems with the PICSTART Plus programmer are contained in
the PICSTART Plus help file under Troubleshooting Common Problems. '

I thought this was a bit insulting, as I had indicated in my message that I
had tried all that already.

Let us know if you get this resolved.

Dave
