What finally worked was resetting the com ports in XP
to defaults
and using the following preferences for Decoder pro:
Locobuffer
COM1
57600
NO FLOW CONTROL (This is the unrecommended setting)
DCS 100
No Flow Control was the setting that got mine going, too (FYI: a PII 200mhz
desktop with a serial card I purchased from Loy's). Maybe anyone with com
port problems should be experimenting with this setting along with the other
more discussed ones.
Aloha,
