Recently had the same problem myself.  One of my colleagues passed on a
little utility he wrote ( load68hc11 ) which set my config register just
fine.  I could then use HBDL for uploading programs.  I sent the loadhc11
to fredm for him to test.  I'm sure he'll make it available to all if he
feels it is useable.

I am in the process of assembling a Handyboard. All had gone well until I got to the stage where you download the code to the HB for the first time. This is before the memory is installed. I used HBDL to download with the register set to 0x0c. I got (...) (29 years ago, 23-Oct-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
