Well Jack, true, Windows does SOMETIMES go nutz with calc
transmissions... But, I am using Wtran8x without any problems. I can use
either CAL or wtran, even on my zip drive (switching printer/calc-cable)
while the computer is on has no problems. Although, this was not evident
on my first cable that I built, (It SUCKED, and it didn't work anyhow,
even though linktest.com showed to the correct values).
Try rebuilding it, you may have screwed the diodes up (too much heat via
soldering), you did... solder them right?
