[hpsdr] Mercury first RF in the Florida keys

[Forrest Myers]

My Mercury arrived a couple of days ago and yesterday was the first time 
I had time to work on it. I'm on a boat in the Florida Keys and have 
limited resources aboard. I'd previously built the Atlas board and had 
an Ozy card. I'm running Windoze Vista on a laptop which dual boots 
Linux. I could never get the firmware loaded into the card using Windoze 
Vista but booted the machine in Lunux and was able to load the firmware 
into the radio. I then rebooted the PC in Windoze and started up 
PowerSDR. Yea! It works!!
Under Vista, I can nevver get the firmware to load. About 1 in 20 tries, 
it will recognize the Ozy but that's as far as it ever gets. Under 
Linux, it loads the firmware each and every time with no problem at all. 
Same hardware setup. I simply reboot the machine in Linux, load the Ozy 
and then reboot in Windoze and run PowerSDR. It's a tedious process but 
works, hi

73 and looking forward to gettint Vista to work properly with it.
