Katsuyuki,
OK, we know the cable between computer and FT847 is ok
Writelog is ok and the radio is ok.
I would not suspect NT at the moment. (unless you can not get that serial
port to work at all)
But if you had the IR wireless sensor enabled and you said it was on Com 2
and this was the reason for the funny readings that Writelog was showing. I
would conclude that Writelog was trying to talk to the IR port on Com 2
(not com 1.)
So the next question is what com setting (base i/o address and irq) is
assigned to the physical serial connector on your portable? Again the BIOS
might give a clue. You might find the serial port disabled?
Do you have any other device (a TNC, etc.) that you can talk to using a
serial connection - to see if the serial port itself is functional? And to
verify what Com it is, Com1 or Com2?
Try Writelog settings on both Com port 1 and Com port 2.
I assume that since you had Writelog talking to the FT847 on the other
computer, that menu #37 is indeed set to 4800 baud???
So I guess the trouble shooting is down to getting the serial port on your
portable working. If the serial port does not work with some other device,
then the question is, has NT installed that hardware and is the serial
service running?? I am not an NT expert and so can't say how to proceed
there. I know there is an Events Log that shows problems on startup. You
can find the viewer for the log on the programs menu, and administration
Tools, I believe. Read the log for messages about the serial port not being
able to start up.
Good Luck
