(1) I assume when you say "miniboard," you actually mean the Serial
Interface/Charger board. please be careful with your language because
the Mini Board is a different specific project that is not part of the
Handy Board system.
(2) It sounds like your cabling is the source of your problem. If
your computer has a 25--pin port, then either (a) plug the Serial
Interface directly into your computer, or (b) get a
25-male-to-25-female straight--through cable and plug the Interface
board in using that.
If your computer has a 9-pin serial port, then you want a single
9-female to 25-male modem cable.
