[Orion] Orion upgrade - bought a laptop, same result.

[Richard Hemingway]

I gave up on the Virtual PC for transferring with the Flash program 
to the Orion.  I bought an Toshiba laptop with  Windows XP home. 
Communicated with the Orion with Keyspan and SignaLink SL-1+

I had to run the flash transfer program with "stop on error" 
unchecked.  It really zipped through the first 7270 lines in about 
3-4 minutes and then slowed down and took two hours to do the rest . 
When done the Orion didn't work, the screen was blank.

Ideas???   I have also e-mailed Paul Clinton at TT and will call him 
tomorrow or the next day.


This is getting irritating to say the least!  And no expensive ( 
although eventually I will run some Windows ham programs on the 
laptop and not the Mac)
