Well my PS+ upgrade module arrived on Thursday, I whipped out the
screwdriver to upgrade it and 5 minutes later powered it up.

Enabled it via Mplab (latest version)and it told me there was a newer
version available for firmware upgrade. I located the upgrade, and boom.
Packet not received error.

I reset the PS+ and it told me that it had corrupted firmware :-(

Great I thought - I've been waiting months for this and have broken it
within 10 minutes of using it. I then tried the lower version of the
firmware and it programmed fine. Tested on a couple of 18F452's and
programmed them fine.

Tried again to upgrade to the latest version and happily it went through.
Tested with the 18F452's again and its quite happy.

I havent noticed much of an improvement over programming times but I can now
program a lot of the 18F's that it wouldnt support before.

Cheers

Dom
