Ill take a look at it when I go in tomorrow thou, thanks.

No idea why the default hex file would have become corrupted, but there are lots of ways. What you really want to do at this stage is to continue to break the failure down into discrete tests to localize the problem. Your testing the default hex file was one. Trying different IFI_Loaders was another. I'd test the two hex files on a different computer (that you know works correctly, like mine) to determine for sure if it’s the hex files or a computer/IFI_Loader problem. You can also visually inspect the file, it's ASCII, but only gross problems will be obvious. If the hex file still doesn’t work I’d download the default code again to be sure of having a pristine hex file and try loading the FRC_default.hex file again.

I’ll also try to repeat the error in other ways.
