Description
Keywords: eztag, parallel port, serial number, JTAG
Urgency: Standard
General Description: There is a known issue with using the EZ-Tag (JTAG) cable to program 9500 devices on some computers that have an Enhanced Parrallel Port (EPP) capability.
The problem is with contention on the TDO signal; it appears to the EZ-Tag software as either a bad program, verify or erase.
Solution
There is a new JTAG cable being shipped that fixes this problem. The newer cables have a serial number starting with 5000. The order number is HW-JTAG-PC.
Note: Only customers with EPP ports should experience this problem.
