You may need to copy another file - I don't know which one, but
someone who has done this may help.

SD may have updated their drivers from CCS 3.1 to 3.3. Check their
website for updates.

Does SDconfig run?? [their 'diagnostic utility']

If all else fails, you can:
1. Configure CCS 3.1, save the configuration, and copy the
/cc/bin/brddat/ccbrd0.dat text] file.
2. Configure CCS 3.3, save the configuration, and copy the
/cc/bin/brddat/ccbrd0.dat text] file.
3. Check the file differences.

Please post your questions to the group, not me directly
