[Trlog] No data from CAT to computer...

[paul at paul-hicks.ca]

Got 'er going thanks to various suggestions.

1) That was it. The the serial and parallel ports were disabled in the BIOS

The cable is okay. Picked up a new cable just in case.

Thanks for the many suggestions. It has taken weeks to get this going 
for one reason or another.
