============================
Update d2pro v1.1b - 9 wires
============================
This software is provided as-is, with no warranties of any kind.

WARNING
=======
** THIS IS A BETA UPDATE ** USE AT YOUR OWN RISK **
*** Do not update installed chips with diode shorted! ***
The diode prevents current from d2prog from flowing to the d2c chip.
If the diode has been shorted the d2c chip may be permanently damaged.
There is no need to short the diode. If shorting the diode "solved" any problems
you are most likely using too long and/or too thin wires for 3v3 and GND.
Thank you for using d2pro!
