Dave,
This won't help but I always include a ICSP header on my boards so I can connect the PICKit3 and flash the chip if I don't have access to a bootloader.

I'm currently working on a board with a 46K22, I'll see if I can get that going with the DS30 loader but I'm currently having difficulties with the FT232RL USB<->UART bridge (first time using it in my own desing) and I need to get that going before continuing. I know you're using the 26K22 but perhaps it will help you - IF I get it going that is....


/Henrik.
