Question Ever seen this serial port problem before???

I've been programming the Innovation First Robot Controllers for three years now and have never run into the problem that I started experiencing today.

When I plug the tether cable from the notebook serial port into the RC, I immediately get a "Basic Init Error". I can proceed to download new code, but then have to unplug the cable from the RC before I can reset it. Again, as soon as I plug the cable in, I get an instant "Basic Init Error".

This is really frustrating, because obviously I cannot get any debug info back.

I have tried three different RCs (2000's, 20001's and 2002's) and the same thing happens on all of them. I have tried different tether cables to no avail.

Having never seen this before, I assume my notebook has started sending something non-kosher out the serial port. It is a Dell Latitude running Windows 2000 Professional, and I have administrative access.

Any (experienced) ideas?

Thanks!!

Aidan
