Locked Re: Serial port too slow? Can anything work.
The LocoBuffer will almost certainly work. It uses standard serial speeds. I've never heard of somebody having trouble with those. The MS100 needs a non-standard speed, or a specific alternate. On

Greg, You need to check the settings for the port. It is probably defaulting to 9600 speed, and just needs to be reset to a higher maximum setting. Assuming you have Windoze installed, look at

My hunch is that this is an operating system rather than a hardware issue. PC serial ports have been doing 56K for man years. I assume you're using Windows. I know nothing about Windows so I can't

I think there are several causes of confusion that are really different. Maybe it would help to think about them seperately? a) "The Ident button picked the wrong decoder!" Some of these are

Well, I installed JMRI on my 1 year old laptop and it says that my COM port can only be set to 9600. I don't understand the reasons why. Anyway, if this is true for JMRI, what about other loconet

I've heard that it has a Chief-style programming track which can both read and write. That would be a really good alternative to the PR1, esp. if they can hit their price point. I'll be interesting

Thanks for catching that! I've fixed the originals. That's an example of a "family" of decoders. Jim Scorse uses the same micro-code for his line of "Silent Running" decoders. They all contain the

CV8 seems to be the most reliable data but I'm not sure what they do when a decoder is subcontracted like say Digitrax makes a decoder for Atlas or similar. One of the very large problems I

I don't have any real ideas about how to better identify decoders. I agree it's a mess, and will be happy to implement whatever you guys think is best. Mark Gurries made a suggestion a while back
