Alright, I'm not the brightest light that has one of these things. All I'm trying to do is get a terminal program to connect to my Empeg Car unit and I can't seem to do it. Can I ask what terminal program you guys are using / recommend for Win 98?

I'm really liking the unit a lot. I'll like it way more when I can get it working once again.

Close down Hyperterm, and via the control Panel set the COM port properties to 115k, 8N1, NO HANDSHAKING (yes, that's what I thought, too). This is because the serial port is only a 3-wire connection. Restart HT and you should connect; you won't see much except during boot for the consumer image; if you want to fertle around, you'll need to update the firmware to developer from the domestic image.

The reason I didn't suggest changing port settings from within HT itself is that it doesn't always seem to pick up changes when you are already connected.
