Unfortunately, LADDIEALPHA hangs on the same place while oploading the same ROM. So its not a DL+ Problem.
i attached another USB2SERIAL Adapter to the Notebook to be on /dev/ttyUSB1. Need to investigate, will try to upload it over Windows on a "REAL" SERIAL Port. Thanks for your hints and help guys! -- Kind regards / Mit freundlichen Grüßen ExPLIT IT Solutions Pawel Radomychelski -----Original Message----- From: Brian K.

As I was closing down my 47 windows across 3 monitors to reboot, I discover I had left a minicom session running on ttyUSB0, left over from earlier when I was working on LPT_Capture. Closed minicom and gee what do you know? dlplus working again. -- bkw On 7/10/21 3:42 AM, Brian K.
