Hi Peter and All, Actually, I have no idea about this visual display program. I had to use that double serial cable and connect the PK to the PC that way. Then, I went into Hyper Terminal and set up the connection with the PC and PK pretty much as John described below. Then, after that, the rest of the procedure was pretty much the same as well. Now, I say pretty much because, well, for one thing, I don't think I did two c1 and c4 resets after entering all the below info to bring my flash disk back, although I'm sure the second one wouldn't hurt anything.

And, if that is not strictly necessary, then what was the procedure when using Hyperterminal alone? Tempting as it is to stay up half the night to fix it, I have to be up early, so shall wait until tomorrow and see whether the answers will make it any more straightforward.
