[Elecraft] Newest P3 FW Upgrade (Workaround)

[Joel Black]

Read almost all the posts and one stuck with me - the one who stated 
everything worked fine on a Win7 machine using the same cable.

On a lark, I started my Win 7 virtual machine through VMware, downloaded 
and installed the P3 Utility, and connected to the P3 - voila, it worked.

This is going through the exact same machine, using the same USB 
adapater with the USB adapter plugged into the same port. In other 
words, I did not change a thing. This VMware machine has caused me all 
kinds of grief and has only recently started working somewhat reliably. 
However, it allowed me to load the firmware.

The only thing different was the fact that I received FW 1.26 instead of 
1.25.

None of this answers why the FW load (either 1.24 or 1.25) always 
stopped at the same point in the load on the Mac version. I have no idea...

Thanks for the suggestions.
