Did you set your 756 Pro II to the address used by the Pro I? I don't have the radio in front of me now, but look in the manual on how to set the radios address. It will be '64'. You need to set it t
I have two of the Byterunner PCI-410HSP-9's. They are PCI cards, use a single IRQ and have 4 serial and 1 parallel ports. Just for a test I put both of them in a single PC so that I had a total of 10
Jim et al... I have a PC which has just ONE serial port on the rear...but searching in the BIOS I found it had another (which was disabled in the BIOS). I turned it on, then searched the board and fo

Interesting.....this is surprising to me, I would have thought it would use the UART in 5 bit mode. The reason is that I would not think you could trust the timing in a multitasking machine to to gen
So then its irrelevant as to if the UART is programmed to generate 5, 7 or 8 bit code? Do you pick one of them just for the fun of it? It would be fun to see the actual code to see what commands are

Thanks Dave. You are 100% correct. And this is exactly why not all serial expansion cards will work...5 bit code is from their point of view an artifact of history...its doubtful that some even test
I believe that the PCI versions from http://www.byterunner.com will work. As I said earlier I am using two of their 4 port PCI cards successfully, although I have not used them for direct FSK. A plus
First try just shorting the line into the FSK to see that you actually have the radio set up to accept FSK switching at that point, if that works, then put a voltmeter on the same point and note the

I use the 4 port PCI cards from Byterunner, in fact I have two of them in one machine so I have COM1 through COM10. They work fine. ISA is dead as you have realized. Ron N5IN
With the 2 com ports built into the motherboard plus 8 ports from 2 4 port Byterunner PCI cards I have 10 com ports (COM1 thru COM10) and they all work just fine. They are about a year old, so maybe

When I installed the Byterunner card in a new Windows XP system it did warn me that the driver was not approved or certified or something like that, but I went ahead anyway and it works just fine. I
