Re: [Usbpicprog-technical] Using the programmer with Windows 8 - problems

[Frans S. <fra...@gm...>]

Dear Marcelo Maggi,

The windows 8 version needs a different driver topology. It is currently in
development and it needs a lot more work. I am working on it but i am also
busy because i recently moved into a new house. I believe that the
bootloader works, but the normal operation still needs some debugging.

Kind regards,

Frans Schreuder
