Granted the PC currently in use is a 32bit XP machine so I could make sure everything was working on a real 16550 UART before going over to the USB adapter but I'll try a win 7 64bit machine when I get the chance. My adapter is a clone one with the CH340 chipset used and abused on arduino clones so I already had the driver package, it was discovered as COM4. Fire up ADTPro via the .bat file, go to serial setup to make sure COM4 is selected along with '//c with imagewriter cable' then plug in the //c and boot to the ] prompt followed by: IN#2 <CTRL-A>14B On the PC go to 'bootstrapping -> ProDOS -> speediboot' and hit OK...up she comes. I've just seen a message from David Schmidt, if anyone knows why yours doesn't work he will given that he wrote ADTPro in the first place :) Cheers > On Sun, Mar 12, 2017 at 5:28 AM, Adrian Graham via cctalk > <cctalk@classiccmp.org> wrote: >> On 12/03/2017 01:52, "Joe Giliberti via cctalk" <cctalk@classiccmp.org> >> wrote: >> >>> Not great news :( >>> The computer recognized the serial port on COM5 and ADTPro says that >>> it is connected.
