What's the state of the reset line? P0.14 can be held low but the reset
line must toggle. Also make sure your baud rate is a reasonable match for
the crystal you are using. If you were to use a different baud rate in the
terminal emulator than in the Philips downloader than might contribute.
Finally get rid of hyperterminal. That thing is worth a good deal less
than you paid for it. I find realterm works reasonably well. Other have
their own favourites.
