If you need help or have questions about the toolchain ask..

I did notice the motherboard I found needs to be ...

Good luck, Chris. Did you test if you USB cable is recognized? Unfortunately it didn't work so I am spending today putting together a PC with a parallel port from all of the junk in my attic, neither my main machine or my development machine have parallel ports. As I now have the USB JTAG programme...
