Yes, Windows always seems to think a Thunderbolt is an MS mouse. Look back in the archives about using /Fastdetect in boot.ini (BTW this doesn't work with WinXP 64 - so I had to disable the serial mouse in the devices).

I bought(ugh) a standard rs232 9 pin cable and part of the problem left me. I was using a Belkin usb to serial adapter(f5u109) but it still gave me a problem. Switching to a Hawking(h-uc232s) adapter and reloading the drivers caused all the problems to go in hiding. Initially the hawking made my system think it was a mouse when the thunderbolt was attached. Its been running for a couple of hours now and seems to have settled down.

No, I have no idea what would do that. :( There's some sort of handshaking incompatibility, it sounds like. Try a fully-populated serial cable, just to see if it makes a difference. -- john, KE5FX > -----Original Message----- > From: time-nuts-boun...@febo.com [mailto:time-nuts-boun...@febo.com]on > Behalf Of ESeacord > Sent: Thursday, February 19, 2009 8:49 PM > To: 'Discussion of precise time and frequency measurement' > Subject: Re: [time-nuts] Lady Heather question serial error > > > Hi all > After finally getting the right serial cable, only uses tx-rx and ground. > Everytime I start Lady Heather, I get the error message "serial > receive error, code 0x2" > The only other process running is outlook. > The tbolt monitor program dspmon and tboltmon both appear to work > properly. > My system is 2.6ghz intel quad core with 4 gig of mem and plenty of > hard drive space. > Any ideas anyone?? > Thanks much > > > Rix Seacord > 22 Austin Rd > Mahopac, NY 10541 > WA2TGF (Extra) > Home 845-628-0892 > Cell 914-262-9186 > > > _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
