[time-nuts] Oncore VP problem

Hi All
I'm trying to set up a supposedly NOS GPS development kit, similar to the
old Motorola evalution kit, with an Oncore VP mounted on an interface board
fitted with a 5 volt regulator and MAX232 interface chip.
Running WinOncore12 under WinXP I can talk to the module ok, enter location
info and get it to return it's ID etc, but other than that I can't get it to
do anything.
I've discovered from the VP command set that it goes into idle mode after a
self test and needs a "position fix mode" command to put it back into "fix"
mode.
Unfortunately, although the module acknowledges the command it reports that
it's still in idle mode.
I'll dig out a DOS PC later, and try an earlier version of the software, but
if anyone's come across this before I'd be grateful for any tips as to how I
can kick it back into life again.
regards
Nigel
