Hi, 

I have a question concerning c2n232 operation with a USB-to-RS232 adapter on the PC (using Linux)

The c2n232 setup works on a normal PC, so it is not essential to make it work but it would be nice. When I connect it to the laptop with the USB adapter, I can run c2nload, but on the CBM side I only get to the "searching" state. 

On the Linux side I get 
-------------
writing 12224 bytes... done
c2nload: loader started, loading the file.
c2nload -c /dev/ttyUSB0: C2N232 responded 0x00; expected '@'
-------------

The USB adapter I have uses the prolific pl2303 adapter chip.
That's what the kernel says

In this old post 
http://www.softwolves.com/arkiv/cbm-hackers/11/11241.html
Marko writes that it should work with this IC though.

I am not sure if I have the correct software versions. I use c2nload-1.0.4 from the cbm archive (and cbmlink-0.9.7 but I don't get to that with the laptop and USB adapter). Don't know how to find out the c2n232 version though.

Any ideas? Maybe Marko?

Thanks for any help

André
