Apologies for the previous encrypted post - my new PGP plug-in jumped in
unexpectedly...

I've got a Keyspan high speed USB/Serial adaptor and am trying to connect to
my 5mx with PsiWin 2.3.3 (under XP Home). The Keyspan adaptor (which works
effortlessly on all my other serial devices) maps itself to COM5.

Try as I might, I can't get PsiWin to see the 5mx. The Keyspan adaptor
software indicates that COM5 is busy when PsiWin is trying to connect - but
it never succeeds. Anyone managed to get the Keyspan adaptor working with
PsiWin, or have any ideas what the problem is?

Do you have any other devices plugged into the adapter other than the Psion
device? If you do then unplug the Psion and any other device then plug ONLY
the Psion to it and try again. Did Keyspan supply any software with the
device? If so then check and see if there is a communication setting and
lower the baud rate of the adapter to match that of the Psion.

regards

B

Can you get it to map to COM1-2 or even COM1-4? I don't believe
COM5 was a supported device when PsiWin was devised, so I suspect
it ignores all except physical COM1 and COM2, or devices
emulating them. If the USB is mapping to 5, then that implies
three pseudo devices are sharing the serial interrupt, and in my
experience that hasn't been a good starting point for making
things work.

PsiWin does not work well with USB devices if at all. If you can get it
working it takes hours to transfers that should take minutes.

I have similar problems with a Sitecom device. Something they said was
'upgrade the BIOS'!
