[1000mp] Serial Port Dead

[Rob Murray]

EUREKA!!!!!

Thank you, Ross! It works fine with my desk machine, a older Dell with a
standard DB9 serial port. You know, I checked for the presence of signal
output out of the USB/Serial Port convertor on the laptop, but I didn't
think to check for signal level - after all, it is covered by the RS232
standard...

Assumption is the mother....   !!!

Anyway, thanks to all, now I know it is not my lovely Mark V...!
