 		 #147350 - PC COM Ports Damaging !!!
Hi All ,

I need really an urgent H E L P !
My circuit is a simple mcs51 architecture
and I have built many circuits like this and
no problem is occured yet .
But this circuit attackes to PC COM Ports and now I
Have 3 COM Ports damaged ! in two computer .
This circuits most of the times acted correctly but
suddenly damaged PC COM port .
I think about this very much . Only difference is my new
baud rate 38400 .

Your asap response would be highly appreciated .
Regards,
