Well ok maybe the adding of one of these components may be our last alternative.

Some minutes ago I tried the stuff with the double connection...and it works? Just one question...are we sure that we programm the board now by the JTAG connector? The Blaster LED lights up while programming so normally it should be that way or am I wrong? And if I select the other Blaster (onboard) in the Hardware setup I get error message "could not access JTAG chain"...JP 8 is set of course. So does it go through the Blaster now?
