Re: I Love my 89 but....
If you have Windows NT, you can set the priority on the Win16 subsystem
(NTDEV, maybe? I'm at home in Linux and can't check just at the moment)
to High or Real Time and improve the liklihood that it will work. I've
complained to TI and haven't been able to get this problem solved. One
minute they tell me they know about it and are working on it, another they
tell me to download the current version because the problem has been fixed
(it hasn't), the latest is that I must either have a hardware problem
(except that the 86 software works great) or something is trying to share
the serial port and messing things up. Basically, the link software
doesn't work in NT, as far as I can tell. :-(
Since the ability to create and print lab reports of my work was the main
selling factor for me, I've half a mind to return my 89 and get an HP48 (I
had one until it died), but since I had to destroy the @#$% packaging.....
