In order to get my 3-year-old Picstart Plus to program an 18F452, I've =
obtained a new 17C44 (instead of the more expensive PUM) and programmed =
it with the last (v3.11) firmware upgrade, which I downloaded from =
Microchip.  I confirmed the 17C44 was blank beforehand, and verified its =
contents after programming.  After installing the new 17C44 as per =
Microchip's instructions, the Picstart reports the new version when =
Enable Programmer is clicked in MPLAB (v5.50), but MPLAB still reports =
the old Picstart firmware version in Help...About.  MPLAB also still =
gives me the "Unsupported Device" error when I try to enable the =
programmer with an 18F452 project open.  How do I "tell" MPLAB 5.50 =
(which has always listed the 18F452 as a supported device) that the =
Picstart is running new firmware?  I can't find this info on Microchip's =
site.

Sorry for the long post...just trying to be clear and thorough.

Thanks,
RR
