[Trlog] Serial Connections with Windows ME

[vilbe8 at aol.com]

I have been using TR for years and have always been very pleased with the 
performance.  This past week, the family received a new computer.  As a result, I 
have received for my shack at 1GHZ Pentium III to replace the Very Old 
Pentium I that I had in the shack.  

Never had a problem with the interface between the radio and computer before. 
 The old system was running Windows 95.  New system runs Windows ME.

Anyway, I can get the computer to key the rig with no problem.  Cannot get 
the rig (TS-2000) and the computer to talk on the serial port.  I have made sure 
that the rig and the computer ports are set up properly.  I have changed the 
BIOS on the computer to reflect the correct address.  Have tried with my 
TenTec Omni VI as well and no go.

Checked the cable by connecting the TS-2000 to an old laptop and it worked 
great.  I know there is some simple solution, but not being a computer wizard, I 
am at a loss.

Anyone have any suggestions?  Would be truly appreciated.

Thanks for reading!
