Hi Paul

I have had all sorts of problems trying to update to this beta release. 

The upload crashed after the MCU load. I tried several times with no success.
It seems that something gets corrupted after the reset process.
The P3 does actually reset however the update to the P3 Utility seems rather slow.

I even tried using the MCU bootloader with the same failure.  I have tried  about 6
times and it has failed on every attempt. I thought that  it was the USB-serial driver that got corrupted. I tried a dedicated RS232 port on another PC with the same result.
I also disconnected the K3 from the P3 with no success.

I have successfully loaded the previous beta so I presume that their is no issue
with my PC setup. This might be some issue with my P3, although its running
fine after re- installing the previous beta.

 Is there something different in this beta release that makes loading problematic?
