As our manual suggests, the supported asynch method for loading code is to
use Procomm Plus for DOS. Windows can have serious problems with the serial
driver. Hyperterm doesn't always work. You can try rebooting your PC and
make sure that no other applications are running and you *might* get
hyperterm to work. Or try another PC.
