[time-nuts] Did my Tbolt die ?

[Neville Michie]

I have had problems with TBolts on PCs. The COM port assignments seem  
to be a bit volatile,
plug in a different mouse or other user and you may find the COM port  
has been assigned to it.
I have never been able to confidently cope with this problem, I just  
keep hacking the
system and sooner or later I get the COM port right with the right  
settings and all is well.
There seem to be up to 3 layers to get right.
This may be because I use USB to serial converters or just be  
inherent to the later Windows OS.
cheers, Neville Michie
