I have a question about Troubleshooting
Driver Problems:
Hi Guys, I'm new to the forum and also XP. I have a Dell laptop which I'm trying
to get to communicate with a dynamometer through the one serial port (Comm1). The
DOS programme that's linked to it says "Dynamometer not responding". If I unplug
the serial cable it says "Dynamometer not connected".
That to me says some communication is taking place. If I roll in an old desktop
PC running 98se with the same programme loaded, and connect up to the dyno, everything
works properly. I would like to get the laptop & XP to work with this and dispense
with the old PC running 98. I noticed 98 uses different drivers for the same equivalent
comm port. Would it work if I installed these drivers onto XP somehow?
Thanks for any help.
NAD
