RE: cannot download an image

Hi

I installed the alternative boot loader first and then the bootloader. I 
tried to load it once more. It is smart enough not to overwrite itself. This 
way I made sure that I had right bootloader installed. The bootloader loaded 
the image happily into the simpad but at the end of the download the very 
same result.

Absoulte no success.

Any help appreciated
