#82545 - ditto! Responding to: ???'s previous message |
This is the funniestblooking entry I have seen, there must beba glitch in the 8052 code. Wow! - wasn't it!? With the various USB/Serial adaptors I have, they generally seem to choose an available COM: port number the first time you use them, and then that number is reserved to that adaptor forever more. How well this all works does seem to depend on the particular adaptor - I think some (of the cheaper ones?) have taken shortcuts with their USB implementations. :-( Example 1: with my cheap Aten adaptors, I couldn't use more than one simulatneously on my old laptop; my new laptop has 4 USB ports, and the Aten adaptor chooses a different COM: port number depending on which USB port I use! Example 2: I also have a cheap D-Link multi-function USB hub (hub + RS232 + 2x PS/2). Having used this hub, I can't use my FTDI USBMOD2 module any more - because the PC sees it as another D-Link multi-function USB hub! (the man from FTDI says this is because D-Link haven't done their job properly, and have just stuck with "default" FTDI ID settings, or something). As to what happens with all this when you add WINE - well, who knows?! |
