- I've hooked up a VT220 to my COM2 port, with the hope of sending some
- debugging information to it, and maybe even a remote terminal under
- Windows. The problem is, if I even do something simple such as
-
- dir >COM2
-
- I get a write fault error on COM2. The same thing happens from C. This
- is before and after loading Windows, and with or without SHARE loaded.
- I've used MODE to set it to 9600, 8N1. It works from a terminal program
- or the DIAGS program, so there must be something simple I'm overlooking.
-
- If you know what that something is, please email me!
-
- Thanks.... Dave
