The EVM05 emulator just wouldn't work with WIndows. I found this comms fix a little while ago. Not tried it (no immediate inclination to drag all the Mot stuff out of boxes and breathe life into another 486) but it may work. Let me know if it does, maybe I'll do something with the 68HCs http://www.pemicro.com/support_center/faq/faqfiles/faq_EVM_speed.html -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways.
