[PCR-1000] EEPROM backup under WinXP

Sun, 15 Feb 2004 16:41:57 -0500

PCR1000bur1v2 was written before XP was invented.
I have the same problems with the new XP. 
Runs under WIN98II without problems

Try  pcr-eeprom.zip at http://www.bonito.net/software/pcr_eeprom.zip
I used it  on my WIN-XP-Pro PC a few minutes ago.
