hello all. does anyone know how to trick the attention wire on the
download cable to think it's connected to the BS2? because i built a
wireless serial ir link, so i can send and receave data, but i can't
download a program because of the (ATN) wire. any info at all will be
helpfull. thanks Eric

    For programming, you must have the ATN pin connected to the PC's
    serial port DTR . I had the same issue. i used a pair of electrical
    wires (for ATN and ground) to connect them to the PCs serial port
    (DTR and ground pins) directly for programming purpose while using
    the IR link for the Tx and Rx. I am not sure you can play tricks.
    Stamp Experts will be able to give their opinion on this.

    For running just the program, you do not need that connection.
