I have successfully been using PSComUtil that came with
CodeWarrior, but I have a problem using siocons.  The console
seems to be partially communicating with siocons.

I'm connected to the console on COM2.  It behaves the same whether
I'm using Win95 DOS window or when I reboot only in DOS.

Here is a typical session:

<<<<reset PSX>>>>
C:\PSX\SAMPLE\CHECK>siocons
siocons -- PlayStation debug system console program
   for DTLH3000 1996/05/10 00:00:03
   type  F1   ----> display help
   when hung up try type  ESC
 I/O addr = 0x02F8, IRQ=3(vect=0x000B,8259=20)
 BAUDRATE = 9600
[DTLH3000 not ready!][DTLH3000 not ready!][DTLH3000 not ready!]
<<<<push reset button on PSX>>>
Connected CIP ver2.0
Communication baud rate 9600 bps
OK
>>

>>[DTLH3000 not ready!]

The "not ready" message seems to be coming from the console so the
serial link seems to be communicating.

Any idea what might be happening?

Thanks,
