Re: Data I/O and Windows XP

Thanks Mike!

Let me just confirm a couple of things if you don't mind.

1) I'm using the same cable/null modem that works when I'm using Windows98
- Is that fine?
2) On my computer settings I have the serial port configured as Com1, 9600,
8, none, 1, and hardware flow control enabled. - does that sound good? My
other option for flow control is XON/XOFF.
3) In the promlink configuration I have the programmer port set to Com1,
9600, 8, none, and 1. There's no option to set flow control. Is there a
way to set that in Promlink?

I tried the new PL.SET file but now it complains about Port1 and Port2. I
can't communicate with the programmer at all. Just wondering if I'm
missing something.

Thanks for all the help.

Matt
