<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi All,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks Phil for your help and everybody else's, but
I am still in trouble, I have followed the instruction to the letter
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>to update Mercury but it fails.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>What happens is I get as far as to enter what version of code to load,
say E for 2.4 and all that happens is that it says</DIV>
<DIV>The Device is not ready</DIV>
<DIV>Press any key to continue. (Version 2.4 etc is there). </DIV>
<DIV>All loading to that point shows no errors.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Then nothing happens apart from coming out of the program.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If I look in device manager after loading usb blaster drivers it is shown
as there Altera USB-Blaster in universal serial Busses.</DIV>
<DIV>but when I look in device manager after powering off and adding Mercury I
only see the OZY Host Assisted Firmware Load </DIV>
<DIV>Altera usb-blaster is not there.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Is this my problem - I am lost what to do.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Can anybody help me please as I am nearly bald!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Regards</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi All</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I cannot get Mercury to work if Penny is
installed, I have tried different slots combination removed J8 on Mercury, all
power supply voltages are correct, deleted powersdr.mdb, but all I get after
start button pressed and everything loaded is loud crackling and jumping
panadapter, then after few seconds locks up. I have tried all things
in Quick start guide.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Mercury works great if no Penny card
in.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Can anybody help please.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Regards</FONT></DIV>
