Subject: XFER cable

Hi again!

This time its an XFER problem.....

I have created the cable as per the instructions in the XFER documentation.
I can get the xfer.bas transferred, and I can execute *commands from my PC
and get the results on the PC (e.g. *cat, *info *.* etc.).
BUT when I try to transfer files or images, the fun stops.

E.g. When trying to transfer a disc-image from the beeb to the PC, it just
stops when displaying the track 0 message (Beeb disc-drive stopping as
well).

When trying to transfer an image or a file from the pc to the beeb, the
beeb-screen quickly flashes some messages and returns to the waiting
prompt (no disc activity), and the PC returns to the xfer-menu right away.

When trying to transfer a diskimage from the beeb to the pc, the screen
output hangs on the beeb with a partly displayed disc-catalogue.

I have tested the cable with a meter, and it seems fine.

What worries me is that it partly works - perhaps indicating handshaking
problems......

I have also tried the PC-BBC serial cable on sprows homepage, but couldn't
get that to work at all??

Any ideas?

Cheers,
Carsten
