(under NT4) I think all my connections are good (I have a serial line monitor). My port, IRQ, and baud rate settings are good too. The problem I'm having is: when running siocons with a batch file as an argument ("siocons auto"), I get the "Binary write timeout!" error. Then if I hit F3 and type "auto" it begins the first data file, and a "sync error" is reported on the tv. This sounds like a problem in my data settings, but I have not found the required settings anywhere in the documentation or in these newsgroups. I have tryed 8/N/1 with all types of flow-control, but nothing helps. Anyone else hit this? Or at least can someone tell me the correct settings so I can rule them out as the cause.
