Re: WP 34s : An old problem coming back Message #2 Posted by Les Wright on 4 Nov 2013, 8:03 p.m., in response to message #1 by Miguel Toro
I had that issue once too, only with XP virtually rendered in VMWare Fusion on a MacBook and using the FTDI USB-Serial converter Eric Rechlin sells. Drove me nuts, but eventually things got sorted.
I should reexamine the issue and get back to you. Presently I use the QT emulator directly in OS X on my Macs, and the connectivity is fine both ways, which it was NOT in the early days of that emulator when I tried it.
I still flash with MySamba under XP in a Fusion virtual machine. If I follow the steps it works fine. I tend not to do the back and forth serial transfer stuff any more. My preference is to compile my own wp34s-lib.dat file with the Python assembler tool from my text listings, concatenate that with calc.bin to give what I call my_calc_full.bin, and flash that to an erased calc. Works perfectly.
Hope you sort this out. Are you using the same firmware version on both sides of the transfer?
