Hi,
I have here a CFA635 TMF KS.
It worked last time it was used some months ago, on a PC that no longer exists. Now, when I apply power, I get a good boot screen and backlight, but it doesn't respond to serial commands using the 635 wintest program. I'm using a USB to serial converter that identifies to windows as "Prolific USB-to-Serial Comm Port (COM6)". I've tried selecting different baud rates and issuing various commands, but it just sits there timing out on the version query commands the program uses to detect a display. There is also no report of key events.
This seems like a pretty fundamental comms problem; are there any known issues with USB to serial converters, or anything else I could try?
Thanks,
HF
