Now I have bigger problems.
this morning my hard drive fried. I was running windows 98se.
I put my comm software on windows Xp and had nothing but problems, set it all to the proper settings. Finally got the fadal to work about an hour ago. works at 9600 using cd,8 and above using cd,9 , I haven't tried it any higher as my communications software wont let me go higher than 19200.
One problem I see that I don't like is the programs use to feed constant, now running it on win xp pro, it tends to pause every so often ( still gets the program to the fadal) but it pause's
Is there something about windows xp that I should know about when sending and recieveing programs? I went to the com port 1 ( in control panel) and made sure everything was set up. and it looks fine.
The pc I had was a extreamly old pc but lasted for years it was do to happen I just didnt need it to happen now
Reason I mention this is i have an older machine with a mx1 yasnac control. and I dnc it at 1200 baud rate.
right now I cant even get a small program into the machine with out a th parity error and I am pretty sure it has something to do with the com ports and windows xp.
Tried a different com port and get the same thing go pause go pause etc.
I have 0 for time out delya like I have had for the last umteen years.
I am going to look into the other suggestion some of you guys had, I just need to get this fixed ASAP as I can't run the other machine until I do.
