Oh, great wizards. I have an aging, fragile 386sx laptop that has faithfully
programmed my X9000 radio for years. I also have a Compaq LTE P1 120 that I
program all of my other Moto radios with successfully except for the X9000. On
the Compaq, I have tried booting to real DOS6.22 from a floppy (Windows 98SE
DOS gives same problem). Using moslo, the X9000 program launches just fine but
I am unable to read the radio. I receive the dreaded "Serial Bus Failure. Power
Fault." message.
I can only guess that the computer speed still hoses the serial port despite
using moslo to dial back the computer. I have read through all of the
repeater-builder and Blenderman sites on the issue.
Has anyone made the X9000 program work on a P1? If not, I guess I'm going
garage sale shopping.
Thanks
