Trouble downloading program to laptop

Hi group,

I know or at least I think I've seen a post about having problems
downloading a program from a toshiba satellite 2100cds laptop to a stamp. I
tried to download to a BS2 and BS2P and it doesn't identify the device or
have an echo.

I tried searching the archives but didn't have any luck, maybe I'm not
searching with the right key words.

Any help would be fully appreciated.

thanks in advance jeff

    Jeff -

    This is not at all unusual on certain laptop computers. Try the following:

    My Computer --> Control Panel --> Modems --> Port Settings

    Set the FIFO BUFFER down as low as it will go and give it another shot.

    Regards,

    I just spent 15 mins doing the exact same thing. I found the port
    stated it could not find it. I then changed the ports to port 1. It
    still did not work until I shut down and restarted. Then everything was
    fine. I hope this helps.

    FWIW I had trouble getting a Satellite 2060CDS laptop to recognize the
    BS2. It didn't work and I gave up on the machine for other reasons. I
    did not pursue the problem. No problems out of the box with my desktop
    machine or Compaq Armada laptop.
