I just finished upgrading my P3 to MCU 1.26, SVGA 1.16 and FPGAx
1.04. The MCU loaded OK but then it rejected the SVGA. I
followed the instructions to power cycle the P3 (and K3 since
that was the closest P3 power switch). I tried a full reload
("Send all Firmware to P3") and it hung again. I power cycled it
again, with a count to 10 while off and used "Send All New
Firmware to P3" and it worked.
MacOS 10.7.5
Elecraft USB <--> RS232 adapter
P3 utility 1.12.10.4 (Mac version)

Read almost all the posts and one stuck with me - the one who
stated everything worked fine on a Win7 machine using the same cable.
On a lark, I started my Win 7 virtual machine through VMware,
downloaded and installed the P3 Utility, and connected to the
P3 - voila, it worked.
This is going through the exact same machine, using the same
USB adapater with the USB adapter plugged into the same port.
In other words, I did not change a thing. This VMware machine
has caused me all kinds of grief and has only recently started
working somewhat reliably. However, it allowed me to load the firmware.
The only thing different was the fact that I received FW 1.26 instead of 1.25.
None of this answers why the FW load (either 1.24 or 1.25)
always stopped at the same point in the load on the Mac
version. I have no idea...
Thanks for the suggestions.

I absolutely cannot upgrade to the latest P3 FW (1.25). I had
similar issues with 1.24, but it eventually loaded after
several attempts.
