Loader Update Information
- Changed the way the loader detects COM
ports. A search is made in the system registry under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\hardware\devicemap\serialcomm. This changed was
required in order to support the increasing number of virtual COM port
drivers. Please note that a port shown as available in the registry does not
mean it is available for use by the loader.
- Problem with erasing 16F88 parts, this
should now work OK.
