Cheapo Tech2
« on: 25 July 2006, 12:52:40 »
Has anyone got any further trying out different software on this?

Ive tried software from this site

http://www.wgsoft.de/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownload&cid=3

But couldnt get it to work......though i seem to remember someone saying the cheapo tech2's dont have an EML chipset in them.

Cheers

Got mine working fine with a cheap ebay 10m serial extension to my desk top - it connects straight away with no hassle. not very portable though - need to buy a few more extension leads i thinks

No others work, as the interface is made to work with that software, and that software drives a multiplexor in a different way to any other normal software.
