Thanks MJU and Ben, I'll try your suggestions.
As a last resort I'll try an old trick from my IBM days - sacrifice a goat at midnight and leave the entrails on the keyboard overnight.
Ah those were the days - ferrite core memory, 80 column cards.... now where has Billy disappeared to...

Hi medelec35, Yes I did remove the PIC18F88 chip. I actually have 2 EB006-8 boards and I get the same error 'Could not ID the onboard chip' error in both. I have a PIC18F877A chip and that works in both. I am using the parameter settings for PIC18F4455 from the Elektor article 'Eblocks go twitter' s...

Thanks David for making EB006-30-8 available. I think it may need some editing because V8 does not support low voltage programming : From the V8 datasheet: "5. Circuit description: subsection 7. Low Voltage programming ...The version 8 EB006 does not support low voltage programming modes...." Not al...

Is an updated data sheet planned to be made available for Version 8 of EB006? An example of some of the changes: In V7 of the datasheet under "4.Testing this product." subsection "2. Testing the board - with an external power supply." reference is made to J11 and J29. In the V7 datasheet J11 is asso...

I have managed to circumvent the problem by doing a clean install of FCv5. I am a registry virgin but after looking through some regshots it would seem uninstalling FCv4 (whilst FCv5 is installed) removes something from the registry that FCv5 requires. This may be just on my system but you may want ...

The description text associated with the Adjustable DC power supply HP5328 on "http://www.matrixmultimedia.com/product.php?Prod=HP5328&PHPSESSID=" is not correct. The adaptor for Australia is included and is shown in the picture, immediately below and to the left of the UK adaptor. I am using it in ...
