DragonLoaderCard + Infinity USB Phoenix = Not working?

[kawika]

I am somewhat new to this and would really like some help with this ...

My Setup:

I have the Infinity USB Phoenix cardprogrammer set up with the latest drivers from the manufacturer website (Software Version: 1.51, Driver Version 1.10, Firmware Version 1.06)

I have the old PIC DragonLoaderCard (F84A) as well as the PIC T-Rex LoaderCard (I assume it is also a F84A card).



My Problem:

I start the cardprogrammer-software with usb and serial-cable connected, select "Phoenix-mode in 6.00 Mhz". The testprogramm (phsmtest.exe) from the manufacturer-website say that I am connected to Port 2 (which is correct).

Now, no matter what I do, I cannot make CIW Loader Dragon 1.2 connect to Port 2, nor does Dragonload.exe want to connect.

Now I can connect to the programmer with the Inifinity USB program. But, no matter which Card I select in the dropdown (DragonLoader, Goldcard, WaferCard 16F84(A)) it cannot write to the PIC-portion of the card. I am really going nuts here.

I have been trying for two days to fumble with the setup, trying all possible ways, reading the forum and the readmes.

What am I doing wrong? I know, that it worked before. Since I already upgraded the card a couple of times (approx. 6 months ago). I even bought the new T-Rex card to verify that my original one is not broken.

thank you so very much in advance

try to reload the card using dragon crypt, the files(both for loader based on pic 16f84 and fun7) are in the program.maybe you delete the loader reading the card. greetings from italy
