I feel your pain my friend!! As you know I struggled for more than
a year with the old ICE200 and studio 4.xx without getting any help
from Atmel, they could not replicate the VERY REAL problems I was
having. I feel that they have some serious comms problems with
studio 4 as pretty much everything misbehaves from ISP upgrade to
ICEs. I'm very fortunate that, since I put 2 more additional serial
ports in my new computer, the whole thing as been solid as a rock
for more than 2 months, there is nothing I can do to break it!!

The card has 2 com ports (com 3 and 4) and a parallel port and is made
by Sunix co ltd. Of course the ICE still misbehaves, or doesn't work
with the normal serial port on the computer....but I'm happy now.

I should get my updated PCB that uses a M64 today. It has JTAG debugging
facilities, so I'll see what disasters await me when I switch to JTAG :-(

Of course there is a certain person lurking in the background in this
forum that LOVES his JTAG ICE and Studio4.....
