Re: SwiftX MSP430 with MSP-FET430UIF USB Flash Emulation Tool

The only TI JTAG interface we *officially* support is the MSP-FETP430IF,
which connects via a parallel port. The error you're getting is most likely
within the TI driver. We'll look again at the USB drivers. There have been
a few maintenance releases since the one we have in the SwiftX distro.

My impression of the USB version of the JTAG interface is that it's slow.
If you can use the parallel one, you should.

Laptop with no LPT port? No problem! Try this:

We use the TransPC card on all our laptops for JTAG, BDM, and other parallel
interfaces. Set it for LPT1, base I/O address $378.
