I had a win 95 machine with an external modem on com2. When I tried to connect the yaroze to com2 it wouldn't work as win95 seemed to have assigned com2 to the modem regardless of whether the modem was connected. The work around was to plug the yaroze into com2 and try to connect to the ISP which of course failed with a comms error. However this then freed the com2 port so that the yaroze worked. Playing with 18 yarozes I've seen pcs die and tvs develop problems but the yarozes have so far always worked apart from when the cables were incorrectly connected Have you tried it on another PC? Good luck, you must be getting pretty pissed off by now, and you've yet to experience the libs! Peter.
