[hpsdr] Problem with Mercury

Hi All
I have found the reason for not programing Mercury.
I completely forgot that my main disk drive is using letter H and I did not change it in the 
program-mercury-EPCS16.bat file, what an idiot.

So sorry to ask before thinking properly.

I am now going to see if I can get Mercury Penny Ozy working now.

Hope I do not need to post again.
Thanks to all for help, what a great team.
Kind
Regards
Brian Crighton.

Hello Brian,

When you want to update Mercury, you must have Ozy just in the next slot 
(no gap beetween the two)

In the device manager, I think it is normal to see OZY Host  Assisted 
Firmware, an then when you run program-mercury-EPCS16.bat, the good soft 
is loaded in Ozy that make it appears as a usb-blaster.

You can also verify, just before entering your choice (say E for 2.4), 
you should see the Altera usb blaster in the device manager.
If not, there is a problem with Ozy?
