Arnould, Thank you for this. The last time I looked at simser I couldn't find an English translation, and had other things to deal with, so I set it aside; but this helps a lot. I will take a look and see if it can be applied to this problem.

He developped SIMSER and his code can be freely reused. Can be found on this site: http://morloch.hd.free.fr/smsq/ and a short description in english here (more detailed in german though): http://globalfilesearch.net/download.aspx?path=romeo-klive.nvg.ntnu.no/pub/s inclair/ql/utils/simser.zip Maybe it could be worth to test this with your Ser-USB driver?
