[DSP-10] COM ports

[Bob Larkin]

Hi Bob,

I don't want to belabor this, but the COM 2 came from the first Trace file 
that you put up. It had the following:

----------------Start of trace file

If you look at the command line from this file entry

Command line: argc=5,  |C:\BC4\XFLASH\XFLASH1.EXE 2 1 uhf3xh.hex 1 |

it shows a 2, in the position right after "XFLASH1.EXE " and is generated 
in the XFLASH program directly from the DOS command line.  This 2 means 
that in the original call to FL1 the specified as COM 2.

I only keep mentioning this because I am 99.99% sure you got a good load at 
that run. All the other entries in the trace file are those of success!!

I hope this helps.
73,
Bob
