It's every 0x18 bytes. I jury rigged the programming setup on a
breadboard that I'm now using for another project. So I'm not inclined
to tear that down to do the file write/read test to see the difference
between the hex files. I know I have a spare breadboard here somewhere.
I'll see what I can do over the weekend.
thank you

Oh, BTW, the link to the Ubuntu installer script on the usbpicprog main
site is broken. I found the script by browsing sourceforge. Thought you
should know.
