Hi Neville, I just put power to my Tbolt yesterday, so this is fresh in my mind. I'm running Vista w/SP1 and also running through a USB-RS232 converter. I wasn't getting a response out of the monitor program until I noticed that it was set for odd parity. It should be no parity (9600-N-8-1). I had also hooked the 10 MHz output to a scope to verify that something was happening. It showed a sine wave.
