Kurt, I didn't asked about it yet because my M100 is having a lot of other issues and I didn't want to flood the list with too many different topics but if I did manage to get mComm 2.5 running, the "inject TS-DOS" feature never worked for me (and yes, I have eventually tested every single pin of my DB9 to DB25 adapter and it is totally matching the cable described in mComm documentation). I'm pretty sure the issue is my dodgy cheap USB to RS232 interface having issues with xon/xoff, but here is how I managed to get TS-DOS on the M100: - I opened the file dos100.do from the mComm directory in a text editor and copied it in the clipboard - I opened a 1200 bauds serial connection with even parity and xon/xoff using Putty on the PC - I typed LOAD "com:58e1e in the basic prompt - I pasted the clipboard content into putty - I pressed CTRL+Z in putty (that sends the EOF to the M100) - After one eternity (3-4 minutes) the loading completed, I typed RUN and it did the trick Note that using TS-DOS, I can transfer files at at full speed and I got no error so far so the problem only occurs at the initial step. Also to be transparent I had to try 3 times before getting TS-DOS transferred without any corrupted content so perhaps you may try an even slower speed (it usually works fine at 1200 bauds but I've never transferred a file that big before). Note that if you're using 600 bauds you'll have to wait for 6-8 minutes to get the file. Perhaps in the next revision of mComm you could add an option to reduce the speed for TS-DOS injection? (and if possible some kind of progress indicator because it's a little nerve breaking to look at the M100 for 3+ minutes while nothing changes at all :o) ) Greg Swallow wrote: > Yeup, using RUN"COM:98N1E" alright.

Is it one of those $4 USB to RS232C interfaces from eBay? That's what I'm using and I'm pretty sure that's where the problem comes from... Eric
