Data I/O progress... another question

My Data I/O 29B seems much more happy. All tin contacts cleaned with deoxit 
and all gold contacts cleaned with progold. Reseated all the chips (some 
were loose) and it appears to work fine for reading anyway. I'll check the 
power supply and calibration then try to program a chip.

My current issue du jour is with Promlink. I can use version 3.4 just fine. 
I want to use version 6.10 though, MUCH easier on the eyes. However, any 
time I try 6.10 (with the high speed cpu patch), it chokes on "error sending 
Device Identification enable/disable command, is this a 29B unipak?"

I thought my unipak was a model 2. It's not, it's just a straight unipak. I 
believe the device id feature is present on unipak 2 and 2b, and not present 
in just a unipak. From what I can tell, promlink v6.10 insists that the 
device identification feature be turned on. There is a setting to disable 
device ID checking in promlink, but either that setting doesn't work at all, 
or, it tries to send a disable device id command to the 29B, which won't 
understand it with a unipak, hence the error.

Any known way around this? My 29B is firmware v 06 if that helps.

Thanks!
