RJ,
Of course, I by no means meant this was the issue. Just exploring possibilities. It is most likely something very dumb on my part (a mis-solder or a bridge or the like). I know I am close to a solution. Just very bizarre that I reflash the PIC and all works at address 1. When I use the address utility (which I have double-checked to have the latest d'led from the site) things go strange. I will try again tonight, now that I gave it a rest for a day. Unfortunately, my show computer is the same laptop that i use for flashing so it limits my ability to work on this from 1700-midnight. It may be something that is wrong on my unit when it goes into program mode (again from something stupid I am sure I am missing on my end). One test might be to get a HEX of someone who has an address set to 133 on a unit that works and I load that and it works on my unit then I know it is something going wrong when I set my unit to program.
BTW, no rush on this. Show is going strong and will be running for another 8 days. After that I get a small vacation to see the folks in Memphis.
Thanks,
Kurt
