Yeah for some reason I am getting an error 452 and am going to try and get a cheap cable. If you have one and are reluctant about selling it cheap, just remember I love you.
Columbus, Indiana...... need to update that, sorry.
It's a parallel cable, not a serial cable. If you have somehow connected it through a cable to something marked as a serial port on the computer, you've probably blown the transferer.
Did this particular cable use to work before? Did you switch to a new computer lately? Muck around with the BIOS settings? If so, those are more likely suspects to begin with.
If you get a new cable, make sure it's a 1-1 (one to one) cable, not a Laplink cable.
It used to work. Was left connected and then didn't work. I'm unsure if the misses didn't knock it off the desk. Figure new cables would be the cheapest/easiest test. I have 2 carts and neither worked with it.
