   Does the green light in the tower come on at all when you try to send the message? Is the light only on when you are trying to communicate? If the light is always one I would look for another application that is trying to use the serial port. If the light is never on I would start wondering if the port actually works. Is there any way you can check if the serial port is working? Do you have another computer and a serial cable?

Too bad you can’t email hardware. With all the diagnostic equipment lying around in my office we would have this baby working in no time.

I forgot to mention the green light. Ever since I enabled the serial port in the BIOS, the green light will only come on now when NQC is trying to transmit, which is what’s supposed to happen. But then it reports the error I provided earlier.

I will see if my Dacta Control Lab works on this port.

(...) Now this is interesting. The Control Lab works just fine. (18 years ago, 13-Mar-07, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, FTX)
