I tried that, made no difference :o(

Seems like the laptop has something different, Port voltage is 5V so it
is not the dreaded 3.3V interface problems.

Even under win98 it did not work :o(

I am running out of ideas (plus I never tried it on the old dev machine,
so it could be faulty from manufacture, but Atmel has QC ??)

ARRRGGHHHHH

If there was slightly more documentation I may have half a chance :o(

Regards,

Kat.
