Hi all ,longtime watcher,1st time poster.
My old laptop with serial ports did a fine job until it died
I now have a Acer travelmate 530 with USB ports and no serial.
I have tried a usb-serial converter cable with no luck and decided to get a PCMCIA serial card hoping i could re-live those wonderful no hassle serial connection days....alas i still have trouble connecting onto efilivev4 to my VT6.
The cable worked fine on the old Dell laptop.
I tried connecting and i always get:
Comtimeout:Expecting frame header byte.

I want to use the diagnostic cable(VR,VS,VT) to data log on my 75' Monaro 308 running VN/Delco 808 hardware.
I am now running the VR Manual ECU(082) for faster Baud rate....but connections don't exsist as well.
I 've exhausted my brain changing settings the last few nights instead of datalogging..HELPPPPPPPP
Thank you.......mario
