Steve,
I successfully transferred the RXCTST.DO file and ran it.
Same kind of a message as before, but it gets to 4 dots on the second line
before the machine turns off. Turning the power on shows the results of a cold
start. Same kind of failure as with RXCINI.
Before each try, I cold started the machine and cycled the power.
Still stuck.
Sorry,
Bob

Hi Bob,
my guess is that there are one of 2 things wrong.
1) the socket has some loose connections or
2) the 8 bit transfer didn't go as planned and there is something amiss with
RXCINI.DO
I must say, I need to make my utilities more bulletproof. I think I will adopt
the Ron Weisen encoding...7 bit.

Hello all!
Today I finally tried to install REXCPM in my M100. I have not yet succeeded.
Any suggestions would sure be appreciated. Here is the scenario:
Using a Null Modem cable, I transferred the RXCINI.DO file carefully to the
M100. I used 1200baud with TeraTerm on my Dell Win10 laptop, 8 bits, etc. My
Dell Win10 machine came with a Dell external device that provides supports
legacy ports via USB cable to an external box with physical serial, parallel,
Ethernet, and USB connections.
The transfer was successful and I looked at the lines of code in the .DO file
and compared to a screen listing of RXCINI (used Notepad). All good.
I connect my NADSbox with RXC_11.BR <http://RXC_11.BR> AND RXCINI.DO In the
root directory and using the cable that I have always used with my NADSbox.
Then I start through the steps found onthe Bitchin100 page:
http://bitchin100.com/wiki/index.php?title=REXCPM
I at step 4, I select Yes to both options, and Y to proceed.
I see a line on my screen that shows dots appearing:
Loading at: 62000 <…………………….
..
Note that I see only two dots on the last line then the screen goes off with
the M100 powered off. When I turn it back on, it is apparent that a cold start
has occurred.
I have repeated all the steps carefully at least 4 times (Cold started M100,
transfer RXCINI.DO, RUN”RXCINI”. I never get to step 6. The result is always
the same.
I am pretty sure that my transfer of RXCINI.DO is not corrupted.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Bob
