Of course, Win NT/2000/XP will have none of it and (i think) uses its own device driver to talk to the hardware while emulating the IRQ calls to the DOS box. It does a not bad job of it provided you set the port speed in the control panel to be the same as the port speed you are running siocons at. Those minicons classes on ~frothy are a rewrite using proper win32 calls that I thought would work on any computer, they work fine on 2000 but fail on win 95 as reported. The frustrating thing is that as soon as you stick portmon on the win95 port (www.sysinternals.com) the damn thing works perfectly. Hey maybe i'll attempt to fix it over christmas hols. best christmas wishes anyway, and happy unravelling if you decide to take the plunge into that siocons code. evans "Nigel Critten" wrote in message news:9vrbu3$9vd10@www.netyaroze-europe.com... > It does struggle at higher speeds, I think the OS does some kind of house > keeping of the COM port that it shouldn't. > > Setting the speed lower will work but it isn't perfect, I still find > PSXCOMMS to be a good halfway house, it works with the memory card > functions, and is really close to SIOCONS,> Nigel > > "Chris Wallace" wrote in message > news:9vr10k$9vd9@www.netyaroze-europe.com... > > Ok, idone that and it look right again now.
