Hi Ton,
Yes I did use MS-DOS (not a window).
The thing which would be most useful is to know what your red LED on the
EZKit does when you load the program? Mine keeps flashing which I think may
be wrong.
To know that, would give me a clue as what is going wrong - I think the
problem is that for some reason my loader isn't loading properly.
........ Started re-reading the Manuals - and sleeping on it.
Many thanks for your replies
David, G6GXK
