I've been using legOS for Windows (Vamos-Wentworth's distribution) both on

Any other ideas anyone?

I don't think it's the serial port handling under NT, because there are some
guys out there who have been able to work with legos and NT without problems,
isn't it?

By now, I think it could be a bug in my legos installation. I have 0.2.3 and
Vamos-Wentworth (nice guy) has told me there could be a bug in memcpy.c. I
wonder if that is solved in 0.2.4, if so, I could download it and try to
install it...
