Step 4: Send a start firmware download message

  In hex, the data in the message should be:

     75 00 80 cc dd 00

  cc is the most significant byte of the image checksum
  dd is the least significant byte of the image checksum

Are you sure you have cc and dd the right way round?  I have calculated
the sumcheck to be &HC278, so your example above should read

75 00 80 c2 78 00

whereas your file dltrace.txt shows

PC    0000: 75 00 80 78  c2 00                       u..x..
RCX   0000: 75 00 80 78  c2 00                       u..x..
RCX   0000: 8a 00                                    ..

Are all the other references to msb and lsb correct?
