Post by thread:Emulator in Widows NT

I am trying to run an emulator from MPLAB on Penthium Pro (Windows NT). But with any combinations of jumpers on a PC card program doesn't see a card (gives a message "There is no emulator card on this address") Does anybody have this experience? Will appreciate any help. spam_OUTgennadypTakeThisOuTjavs.com

For this reason most security keys, emulators or even prom programmers running off the parallel port (Take Note ICE Technologies), will _NOT_ function. This may be annoying but it keeps the more common viruses at bay. (This is a good thing) Put pressure on Microchip to provide a device driver for MPLAB. For now set up your system for dual boot and run Windows 3.11. regards, John Pioneers are the ones, face down in the mud, with arrows in their backs. Automation Artisans Inc.

Will appreciate any help. The current PICMASTER software drivers for MPLAB access the ISA port addresses directly. This is not allowed by the Windows NT operating system. Until the drivers are made "Windows NT friendly," you cannot use the PICMASTER on Windows NT. We suggest that you use a dual boot system for now, and run MPLAB PICMASTER under Windows 95. Work is being done currently at Microchip to add Windows NT drivers for PICMASTER. No date has yet been set for their release. .....darrel.johansenKILLspam.....microchip.com

One of the features that makes NT a real operating system that will stay up for weeks at a time. > Until the drivers are made "Windows NT friendly," you cannot > use the PICMASTER on Windows NT.

No date has yet been set for their release. This is the first that I've heard that Microchip will actually support their development tools under NT. Is this an official position or just informational? Also, please do an NT driver for the PICstart Plus. I first asked for this at the seminar last year when I got my Plus.

I had problems single stepping my emulator on a 90 MHZ pentium. These problems went away when I moved it to a 20 MHz 486sx system. I have since found out there is a fix to the emulator thet makes speed sensitive problems go away. This may be a problem here.
