[WriteLog] COM Port / TS850 Interface problem

[Dennis Mowers]

Mike-

I am using the typical homemade cable, with the series resistor and 
diode clamp in the data out line. 

I downloaded a new driver from the internet, and now I have one of the 
add on ports working.   The other is inop, although the device manager 
reports it is there and working.

I will try un-installing the card, and re-installing, with the new 
driver, and see what happens.
