Re: Problems Transferring Disks With ADT

    Tom,

   that's strange: it must be a bug in that version of ADT then not
initialising the com port correctly. The settings you change in the "ports"
under the device manager panel are merely the default settings the port
would work if no parameters are passed which the ADT application should do
when you select them and press "connect". I think you should give ADT2005 @
115Kbit a go.
