Please Help!

I am having problems with the communication between the PC and the
Yaroze.

The contents of DJSETUP are on Autoexec.bat, and the 'devicehigh'
command is on Config.sys

They can 'see' each other - entering 'dir' at the siocons prompt results
in the Yaroze boot disk contents being displayed,
'cls' clears the TV screen, but when attempting to send data (ie BATCH0
or BATCH1), problems occur.  (The 'make' command seems to have worked OK
to get the above two files)

Siocons displays the first download line

tuto0 [.text] address:80100000-801001ef size:0001f0  0001f0:

But the Yaroze screen says the data is FFFFFEFF bytes long - then both
ends hang.  (The same thing happens with the demo program)

While troubleshooting, I created a one byte file, which I tried to LOAD.
When I did this, the Yaroze said it was one byte, but then said

PARITY ERROR (FFFFFFFF).

Anyone have any idea why this is happening?  I've tried com ports 1 & 2
with the same result.
