I gave up on pblq and wrote my own stuff, though probably I should have just fixed pblq. I think what actually happens is the first command times out but when you try again it works; I sit and wait for a successful version command response before proceeding.
pblq does ping the board with a get-version packet after the handshake's complete, and wait for the result, so that shouldn't be the problem... I suspect the major culprit is probably the bit of code that tries to be clever and changes the baud rate after handshaking. The E3 uses a different default baud rate, IIRC. Unfortunately I don't have an E3, and I've just moved house and my E2 and interface board is somewhere in a box, so I probably won't be doing much development for a while... -- +- David Given --McQ-+ "...you could wire up a *dead rat* to a DIMM | dg@cowlark.com | socket, and the PC BIOS memory test would pass it | (dg@tao-group.com) | just fine." --- Ethan Benson +- www.cowlark.com --+
