    Default 840z Zif Adaptor Problem

    HI

    Has anyone here got an melabs epic programmer?

    i recently purchased the 840Z zif adaptor for it

    when i insert the ribbon cable on the adaptor on to the 10 pin header on the programmer
    the led on the programmer light's up constantly

    and i get the "device does not match the target device" error from my programming software

    i get the same problem wether in the 8-20 or 28-40 header.

    Has anyone ever had this problem before ? its so annoying ahhhhhhhhhhh

    i don't have an EPIC, neither any 840z adapter but.. but assuming both male header have different use... is there any chance you have connected the ribbon to the wrong one

    It's not a bug, it's a random feature.
    There's no problem, only learning opportunities.

    I've had both, and the only problem I ever had was plugging onto the WRONG 10 way connector, or failing that, not orienting the target chip the right way around.

    And which way did you plug it in?
