AutoProm with Windows 98

Wanted to verify correct setting for my laptop (Com port 1)

Using PCM 16147060, $85, AT29C256, TunerCat



Port Settings:

Bits per second: 115200
Data bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop bits: 1
Flow control: Hardware



Drive File Details:

C:\Windows\System\Serial.VXD currently selected

C:\Windows\System\VMM32.VXD (vcomm.uxd)

Resources:

It shouldn't need to be that complex.

Just make sure you've got the correct port selected in your software (for the serial AutoProm, on most systems this is COM1, on some it may be COM2).

Flow control should be set to none (looks like its currently set to hardware). The AutoProm does not use flow control (nor does the Romulator).

The software will set the port up in terms of baud and whatnot.

You don't want to mess with the address/interrupt settings of the port. Leave those be.

I agree

I already had Com Port 1 selected.

Would the flow control set to hardware cause issues with burning chips?

Thanks for the help!

I'd go ahead and set it to 'No flow control'.

Also, go into your advanced button under the Virtual COM Port and make sure your Latency is set to '1'.

I had previously disabled this port. I could not find a setting for latency.
