So I finally got round to getting WinDAS to work (somewhat). Tested it out with my IBM P275.
It took me a while to get the cable to work - had to do some trial and error with the tx/rx order, and then had to figure out the right com port, etc.
First thing I did was backup the existing settings into a .dat file. Or at least I tried to. The screen blanked (as I understand it should). But then it never unblanked. I connected my vid card to my other monitor to see what was going on, and I saw this error in WinDAS:
When I click on ok, a different error pops up:
The errors keep alternating, and nothing gets rid of it, except forcing windas to shut down. Monitor is fine after a reboot, so it didn't screw anything up.
I have a feeling it might be my particular winDAS installation, but am not sure.
Can anyone who has successfully used WinDAS point me to the installation files they used (and any instructions that could help in getting it to work).
I'm on XP.
thanks!
