BD32 seems to work okay on XP.  It (XP) generates an interface task 
called NTVDM.EXE for each DOS window.  The bad news is that BD32 hogs 
about 99% of the (XP)CPU.  It appears to run in a tight polling 
loop.  I haven't run it much, but I've downloaded small pieces of 
code into the internal CPU RAM on a '376 board just for a test.

I tried running the newer (Win32 Console app) BD32nt also on XP, but 
it simply doesn't run.  It appears that the driver is not 
communicating with the board's BDM interface. I get the looping error 
message "reset still active on BDM".

On both tests, I used a P&E ICD - Rev D BDM pod.
