Hey guys.. I went out to the local electronics store today and got the parts to build a 1 trans and a 2 trans ALDL cable.

The 1 trans wouldn't work at all..

The 2 trans worked kinda.. Craig's software wouldn't link up, however WinALDL linked up. WinALDL was only populating 1 field.

I had the 10k resistor between A&B and my data cable plugged into E.

On the 2 transistor cable, can everything share a common ground through pin A?

Is there something special I need to do? Or is the 2&1 trans. cable not compatable?

Thanks!

 

This 160 baud cable worked for WinALDL for me.

the 8192 baud cable is a little trickier to make...

 

Had I taken the time to read this on Craig's page.. I probably could have saved myself a bunch of headache..

I guess that would make XP a bit out of the question

 

Boot up a DOS disk, it might work fine... Worth a try, easy attempt...

 

where can i get craigs software?

thanks, got the program, now i just need the car

 

Is this a case of 'Cart before the Horse'?

 

well, i had an 82 Z28 sold that and bought an 85 IROC, bought the laptop, and was going to buy a pocket programmer, and then bam i was going thru an intersection, and some elderly people turned left in front of me, like my sig says i have court on April 2nd, and until then the insurance co wont replace my car
