One more thing i noticed. After I open the 3.0a7 emulator, i can't get the
3.0a6 emulator to use the serial port. If i restart the computer, reset the
COM port in 3.0a6, the serial port still doesn't work. But if i try to use
the 3.0a7, the serial port works. Either something between the two is
really messed up, or I have done something strange. Yesterday afternoon,
the only one i could get to work was the 3.0a6, and now its the 3.0a7.
Right now, as long as one works, I'm good.
