Now that's nice.  I have two computers here - one running Win98SE and the other running Win0Me.
Neither is capable of running Win-XP, as there are NO DRIVERS available for either one of them to
support those OS releases.

Thank you MicroChip - I suppose I will have to look at the Atmegas after all.

  It makes sense to me for Microchip to support the same Windows platforms
  that Microsoft does and no more.  They seem to think the same way.
