Hi all,
Reading from the tons of the listings, I see that many of you are
veterans in the HB. I recently bought a preassembled HB. I havn't soldered
the battery case to the board, however, I have bought a 12V 500mA external
adapter. I thought I shall ask about downloading the downloader. I tried
the stuff the manual, I can't seem to be even setting the board in
download mode.
The board is NEW. I have three Wintel machines and an old XT
machine which haven't used as yet as it has only a 5.25 drive.
My problem seems that dl and the 95 version of downloader always
keep saying that Worng port or board mode or no response from the board. I
switched off the adapter and tried again. This time dl just waited until I
switched on the power, after which it gave me message something like no
response from board and trying again.
Can somebody tell me what I am doing wrong? The leds don't seem to
come on for 0.33 seconds when I hold the STOP button and turn the power
on. I have tried 3 different machine (2NTs and Win95) fearing that the OS
might not be truely releasing the COM ports. Also, turning the power
switch of the boaRD on/off seems to turn on/off couple of yellow LEDs on
the main board or serial interface.
-Satish.
PS: I have another question too. Should I solder the battery pack to the
HB when I connect the adapter to the HB?

| (...) What version of IC are you using? I had all kinds of serial port troubles with the freeware version running on fast (Pentium and up) machines. The commercial version runs well on fast machines under Win95, has a slick interface and is cheap. (...) (25 years ago, 4-Jul-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
