So I threw that COM2 o'er board, rebooted and watched the device reinstall,
set bits/sec from 9600 to 115200 (like before) and set FIFO to lowest
(didn't switch it off, though).
Check... One observation made at previous attempts: When I start NBU,
reboot or install the COM2 device again, the Newton wakes up - so it *does*
see something!
Anyhow, first post-OP check no gain. Hmh... And if I twiddle the serial
speed on the Newton? So lemme switch from Ser57600 to plain Serial and
see... Immediate Success! I'll be... What gives!
So, back to registry and looky 'ere, it's all set to 38400! Totally insane!
What 'appened, eh?
Quick change back, since we're already here - that 57600 *does* look much
better!
Can it be possible that maybe a registry setting that's been tweaked from
the original 38400 to 57600 got lost between the last successful attempt
and the first failure? Like some dark force thing?
DJV.
P.S.: Oi, Dan - thanks again!
