...Or anyother software that will program my CP290 computer interface from a Vista computer using a serial port?
Right now I have to keep an old computer with MS Me running Lighthouse in order to program my CP290.
Wow! We're being FLOODED lately with all these CP290 users (3
)? What's 'waking them' up?
(Has it been 17 years already?)
As I stated in the other 2 threads, for the minimal investment involved,
While the CM15A/AHP *WILL* work on your brandy-spanking-new Vista computer, read some of the archives here first and decide *IF* you have the time and energy to invest in getting it going (easy for some, not-so-easy for others - a roll of the dice...). The CM11A/AH *DOES* work on *SOME* Win2K and XP computers (another roll of the dice as to whether you figure out the 'secret' to get it communicating reliabily via the serial port - again, search the archives for more info).
My personal opinion - what's the big deal of having a second computer? I (currently) have 11; 7 desktops and 4 laptops. But *NONE* are state-of-the-art (don't need it!). Old laptops are GREAT (low power consumption / built-in UPS) for running HA, setting up and learning Linux, running a 'Full Service' Router/Firewall, DHCP Server, FTP Server, Print Server, playing MP3s, etc...
