Introduction

Gunther asked me to test the Beta versions of Eazylink2 on my Windows xp desktop to show that the serial port works with a hardware port. I misunderstood what these tests should have been. They will be repeated using the test program in Eazylink2 B4.

Conclusion

This test fails at 9600 baud at the beginning of the transfer. Although the message on is stating sending file, the Z88 has already aborted command.

I was unaware of the test program in Z88 menu. I will run this next week on both Windows 8 and xp and the 3 versions of Z88 Applications and update these results accordingly.
