If you're using Windows 95, be sure you keep the focus on the DOS
window.  (e.g. I have X-Mouse enabled.)  It appears that if the
DOS window task doesn't get most of the attention of Windows, then
the serial port doesn't remain in sync with the Yaroze.  Tapping
Enter to send some bogus data seems to clear things up a little.
