As nobody can tell me how to make my ULINK work with uVision4 or get it to install it on a Win7-64 PC should I just chuck it? Is there anything useful I can do with it?
Is that ULINK or ULINK 2 or ULINK PRO? I use ULINK 2 with Windows 7 (64 bit) and it works great.
He's talking about the original ULINK using the Cypress (Anchor) USB chip, which has been deprecated. It was replaced by the ULINK II/ME which uses an NXP chip.

You're very good at reading between the lines. I saw no mention of that in the OPs text.
The original ULINK only works with Windows XP and older Windows OSs. Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8 is not supported. I cannot offer you an update to ULINK2 or ULINKpro. A ULINK2 costs around 300 Euro or equivalent in your currency. ULINK2 and ULINKpro is best adatapted to our uVision IDE.
I have a couple in my desk draw that don't work either. I hope that clears things up for you.
Yes, it's the original ULINK, not one of the later jobs. A trade in against a JLink is attractive.
Blimey, that's good value! Any idea if it will talk to NXP ARM7TDMI chips?
Couldn't tell you to be honest I only use STM chips but looking at the data sheet
Its a Jtag and SW debugger/programmer so unless its been hobbled not to work with other ICs its listed in the uVision tool as a selectable Programmer debugging option
Cheap is good, but not the be all and end all. As I already have a drawer full of debug boxes, spending $500/ Euro 400 / £300 gets quite hard to justify for just one chip or family. The Segger stuff obviously does nearly everything for that sort of money, but I'd be prepared to spend £20 for something with a limited range off targets.
I don't much fancy the hookey stuff as my time is valuable and I need stuff that works.
