Bill,

I'm following the setup instructions in 
http://openhpsdr.org/wiki/index.php?title=Quick_Startup_Guide
PowerSdr tells me that I don't have the latest FW releases, so I have 
to update.
I'm following "Firmware Programming or Upgrade Instructions" at the 
end of the page.
I updated the SVN from USBBlaster-Binaries,  downloaded and installed 
Altera Quartus II V9 sp2, run USBblaster.bat, and installed the driver for it.
All seems ok, with no errors. Then, when I execute 
Program-Mercury-EPCS16.bat I get the "JTAG chain not found" error.
It seems to me that this error is generated by the Altera programming 
utility, that starts correctly.
As I told before, I have Mercury in slot J6 on Atlas (close to the 
power supply cable), and Ozy just next, in J5. I placed the 
programming jumper in J7.
The power supply seems ok, voltages are right. The programming of Ozy 
with USBblaster.bat went without errors.
