[Trlog] FT1000D interfacing

I still cant get this FT1000D to talk to TR.  I'm beginning to suspect a bad 
port in the radio.

But first i have a couple dumb questions...

I keep finding references to the FT1000D using "2" data bits instead of the 
usual 1.

Do i change that in TR?  I don't seem to see a command to do it.

Else I am guessing i do it in DOS?  I've used the command   Mode Com1: 
4800,N,8,2  to no effect.

Other than that I'm out of ideas.  My config file has this in it:

Radio one control port =  serial one
radio one baud rate = 4800
radio one type = ft1000d
Yaesu response timeout = 1000

I've verified the FT1000D has Eprom version 6.0 in it.
I've tried the radio to computer via both a fif-232 and W1GEE cable.

Any other ideas?

Thanks!
