if you change the driven-i2cprog.pdf this way, it will be more clear.

[victor]

Yes, maybe. I will keep this in mind, thanks.

I've written a step by step How To in pictures.

It can be downloaded here.

Please note that the file is in pdf format.

<EDIT> Converted the Howto into .pdf format which is a much smaller download. A good free pdf reader can be downloaded here

Is it possible to use those USB-to-RS232 chip at the input stage before the MAX232 chip?

Is there such a USB cable readily made available as it might be difficult to find a COM1 port on new workstation.

[victor]

Yes, many of them work but we stronlgly suggest you a PCMCIA/Express card/PCI card COM port.

Cheers
