If you have no flow control, you are losing data during the transfer - simple commands are only a single byte, but file transfer either way is going to send large amounts of info.
you also say you are using com1, but the error indicates that it's trying to use com2 initially - I've attached my config file, def. com1 - but with flow control enabled - has worked for me using a cable made to the specs on the leopardcats web page.
Hi Mike (and everyone else), I disabled attachments on TTL - was concerned about spam a while ago - so you can either send the file directly to Matt or send it to TTL FTP Incoming and I'll move it to the Data I/O directory. Zip it up and call it Promlink-XP-SampleConfig.zip or something obvious... Guess I can allow small attachments, say up to 100K if folks are OK with that. John :-#)#

Hello, I'm hooking up a laptop to a Data I/O UniPak 2B Eprom Programmer and connected through a USB to Serial adapter made by Airlink. I'm using Promlink 6.10, which is the patched version from MikesArcade.com. http://mikesarcade.com/arcade/promlink.html
My Settings are Com1, 9600 Baud, Parity None, Data Bits 8, Stop Bits 1 and of course flow control is off. I/O Format is current set to Absolute Binary. I've read some of the threads before on this and I seem to be running into a similar problem regarding trying to send and receive eprom data. I can do things such as blank checks, selecting devices, reading eproms, etc.
1) First of all, when I initially start up Promlink, I always get this message "16 Bit MS-DOS Subsystem - pl.exe The system cannot open Com2 port requested by the application. Choose 'Close' to terminate the application.
Rather than choosing 'Close' I click 'Ignore' and get in.
2) When I read eproms, I can do so and get a sumcheck, but if I save them to a file I can't identify the file using romident.
3) When I try to send a file to the programmer I will see a progress bar quickly go to 100% and it will wait indefinitely with a "Waiting for programmer response..." message.
