    Thanks Bruce

    That's what I thought. On MELabs website, regarding MCS Plus, I read the following:

    "You need to make sure that the bootloader *.hex file matches the clock speed of your target microcontroller. For example, the file 16F877_20.hex should be used to program a device that will be running at 20MHz. If you don't do this, MicroCode Loader will be unable to communicate with the target microcontroller. You don't have to set the baud rate from the main MicroCode Loader application, as it will be detected automatically for you. MicroCode Loader comes with a number of pre-compiled *.hex files, ready for programming into the target microcontroller."

    Great

    So where is the pre-compiled*.hex file for a PIC 18F2520 running at 32MHZ?

    In the MCS loader help file you'll find a lot more info, and an email address to contact Mecanique for different loader files.

    OK, Thanks Bruce

    I did a system search and the only file found for a 18f2520 was for 20MHZ

    I suppose I could change my configs, etc to run at 20 MHZ - also would have to change the include file . . .and then change everything back after wards . . . a real PITA

    Hopefully someone from Mecanique will respond sometime
