Problem Title:
EZTAG:  Can't find file "other.bsd" when programming chain of 9500's


Problem Description:
While programming a chain of xc9500's with other devices
present in the chain, you may see warnings saying that
OTHER is only supported in BYPASS mode, and then errors
that it cannot find the file "OTHER.BSD"


Solution 1:

The warnings are correct, and may be ignored.

The error message indicates that the user interface
(EZTAGUI.EXE) is out-of-date.  It is generating a DOS
batch file with invalid commands in it.  The batch
file drives the download operation, so you therefore
get error messages.

To fix the problem, download the latest EZTAG software from
the FTP site.
