Vdrive and BS2 trouble

Posts: 13
HI to you! I'm trying to log my data collected with BS2 on a vinculum drive (in UART mode), but if I write this code:
tx con 0 'tx pin
rx con 1 'rx pin
ow con $09 'open file
wr con $08 'write file
sp con $20 'space
ret con $0D 'return
SEROUT tx,baud,[noparse][[/noparse]ow,sp,"myfile.txt",ret]
SERIN rx,baud,[noparse][[/noparse]WAIT (">")]
nothing happens. I think it's why there is no connection between BS" and Vdrive also if leds on vdrive and flash disk too are on.
Somewhere on the web I read that to avoid control of RTS and CTS pin one can connect RTS and CTS together, is it correct?
I try also to speak with Vdrive using a terminal emulator software via rs232 with same result!
Someone could help me?
Thanks Paolo
