Installing the latest beta just gave me similar results of the Gremlins. Mostly failure to load and PLL error codes. I have had no problems in the past and so I reverted to an earlier version.
Then I realized I was doing a lot of stuff in the background while the firmware was loading. Yep when I closed everything else down the newest version jumped right up and worked. I run the Elecraft USB/serial cable on a Macbook. It works equally as well under Mac OS X as it does under WinXP..........but only when I shut down everything else first. Didn't notice this before because I think the excitement of playing with the cable and firmware revision was absorbing enough I didn't have anything else running. The process has been so stable and simple it has become routine and somewhat boring so I have taken to playing solitaire or surfing while it is running. Obviously my machine stumbles with the load and the comport transfer suffers.
