The reason the board is not responding seems to be because the downloader is sending data to the wrong COM port. Find out whether you are using COM1 or COM2 and then check your downloader and IC as well to confirm you are on the right port. from the (...) (26 years ago, 2-Jun-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
