BTW - it gives a percentage counter as it uploads the new kernel. Nice work Tony.

Thanks, but I didn't do that part. The flash uploading utility was released as public source code by Hugo. It's available at the Empeg web site.

I only made some minor modifications to it:
- Changed some of the messages to make them clearer.
- Allowed command-line Com port seleciton.
- Reset the serial port before uploading to prevent the "read 0 bytes" error.

The rest of the Logo Editor (the Windows interface) is mine, although I needed a lot of advice from other folks in putting it together.

I don't know why your Com port didn't work the first time, but I have some possible suggestions:

- The cable was loose when you tried the first time.
- Another Com program was being run at the same time, such as Hyperterminal, Emplode or the Empeg Upgrade utility, and it was claiming the Com port.
- Your Com port shares an IRQ with your modem. For instance, if your modem is on Com3 and your empeg is plugged into Com1, you can't use the modem and talk to the empeg at the same time. If this is the case, you can fix it by moving the empeg cable to Com2.
