[oopic] Re: Parallel Cable on OOpic

I have written programs that function perfectly, do none of the
things Andrew mentioned, and STILL get it into the 'cosmic wedgie'
state.

That's why the first executable statement should ALWAYS be something
like OOPic.Delay = 500. Following reset, while the OOPic is
executing the 5 second delay (on V5, use 5000 on V6), it is possible
for the IDE to get control via SCP.

Lacking the delay, if the chip gets jammed up, the only way to
program it is to remove the EEPROM, attempt a download which will
detect the absence of the EEPROM and pop a dialog box, reinstall the
EEPROM with power ON (!) and then restart the download.
