When I press alt r to run programs, I get the 'hardware not found'
error message. I am running a dell laptop in dos with a parallel
port set to bidirectional mode. I have tried 3 different stamps,
different batteries, the cable is new from parallax, different
programs, etc. I have the blink program running in one unit and can
see that the program is interrupted when connected. On another I have
a led between ground and 0 and can see that the alt r turns the led
off while the stamp is trying to respond to the PC command. The led
then goes on at the same time I get the 'hardware not found' error.
I have looked at the yahooo forums and can see that others are having
the same problems but cannot see a definitive answer. Help! please.
