Hi all,

I'm having some initial miniboard problems that I hope some one out there
can help me with.

I've got everything sodered togather and everything seems to be working fine
until I attempt a download.

When I plug the board into the serial port of my PC the green rcv led goes
on as well as the red pwr light when I hook up my power source.  The red
led even glows dimly when I switch to download mode.  The problem is when 
I press the reset button when hooked up to my PC and in download mode.
The green rcv led goes out.  If I try to download anything I get the
Syncronizing (sp, I know) with board.......failed.

I think I might have blown the transistor closest to the pwr and rcv leds.
If that explains my problem could anybody suggest a part to replace that
transistor.  Or at least some specs for it so I can find a replacement.
The number on the transistor is: 2N3905 with a 342 on the line above that.

Thanks in advance for any help,
Ray
