Re: Help: IFI loader not communicating with control unit
If I remember Indiana correctly, you're near Indy? The best way to solve a computer problem is to get someone to sit down infront of it. Ask a local team to stop by. If you have a mentoring team, that'd be ideal. If you need help finding one, check the mentoring thing on TIMS or contact IndianaFIRST.org.

Otherwise, I'd also suggest trying to get *any* serial device to work. If you can get a serial mouse or old PDA to work then you've eliminated a lot of potential problems and you can identify which port it is that you're plugging into.
