Hey folks,
I can't get my HB downloaded on my dual Pentium Pro running Windows
NT (3.51). Anybody done this? HBDL complains that none of the COM ports
are available, and my event log claims conflicts occur between COM ports
(managed by SERIAL) and ms mouse (managed by SERMOUSE).
On a different machine (486, I believe, running Windows 3.1) I can
download pcode_hb, but IC gives the synchronizing message (but no OK)
and then hangs, until I turn off the HB and then IC complains that the
board was disconnected.
I seem to remember some discussion regarding the speed of newer PC's
causing problems, but I think that was a dlm thing.
help,
-chris
