Actually, I take that back. I needed to re-setup some things in Promlink. But now it's just doing the same thing as it was before. The questions still stands about enabling flow control. :) Thanks Matt On Thu, 24 Jul 2008 13:19:40 -0700, Matt Rossiter <matt@rossiters.com> wrote:
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

I've used promlink on XP without problem (but then I patched it!)
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
but with flow control enabled - has worked for me using a cable made to
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
the specs on the leopardcats web page.

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.
