Re: ADT Not Working

[noone@nowhere.net]

OK Paul, you do not have a SSC, so these instructions do not partain to
you.  If you want some assitance, with your setup, please ask.  I'll
help if I can.  If you can't do the type-in process, find a SSC so you
can utilize this or ask for a DOS33 disk with ADT loaded.  (And you
probably want the ADT for non-Super Serial cards.)  (I might even be
able to loacte s cheap SSC, if you think you need one.

Paul, try not to run too much other stuff simultaniously on your WinDoze
computer.  Windows is notorious about being a memory hog and slows even
the fastest CPU down.  When running Windows, depending on what programs
are running in conjunction with ADT, your milage _will_ vary.

As for older, slower PCs, 19200 will not need a buffering chip if you
use real DOS.  I have done sucessful ADT transfers from DOS Mode in
Win31, Win95, and Win98.  (I dont' have WinME.)  I've sucessfully run
transfers on 486-66 with Win95 and pentium class 100 MHz with Win95 &
Win98.  (Everything works from real DOS, although I've never tried with
anything less than a 386DX40.)

Of course if you really need them, you can replace the UARTS on your
serial card with buffering UARTS, they are usually pin compatible.

People who don't understand how Windows works may have problems getting
software that automatically loads out of the way.  How to do this is way
too broad for me to go into detail, but suffice to say, ask for
assistance in the NG so your individual circumstance may be considered
and worked with.

Thankx,
