@fred9000uk

Was this a case of connecting red lead to Pin 1?

Just interested, 'cos it happened to me (and many others I believe). Apparently, 'Pin 1' on the clock port isn't 'Pin 1' proper. This throws convention out the window and the Catweasel instructions are very vague on this.

So vague, that I got mine repaired free when the supplier agreed about the vague instructions.

So, if you fried a track through this problem, yes it can be fixed quite easily.

Cheers,

JaX
Be inspired! It\\\'s back!
