Problem Title:
M1.3 JTAG Programmer: Communications with the cable could not be
established



Problem Description:
Keywords: cable setup, autoconnect, parallel cable, xchecker, jtag cable

Urgency: standard

General Description:
If you upon invoking the JTAG Programmer try to
connect to the cable through the Output -> Cable Setup menu, you will
get a popup with an error message saying " Communications with the cable
could not be established."



Solution 1:

Exit the JTAG Programmer. Re-invoke it and do Output -> Cable Autoconnect.
It is the only known way to connect to the cable with the M1.3 software.

If you try to change the cable type during a session, the JTAG Programmer
will not be able to connect to the cable. In fact it will break the
already existing connection.
