Re: [avrdude-dev] FreeBSD 5.1 & AvrDude 4.2.0 - Help please

[Randall DuCharme]

Greetings all,

Where's the pointy hat? :-/   Thanks for the idea Joerg.  I launched Win2K 
again and looked closely at the system configuration.  I discovered that it had 
configured the serial port as COM2.  I then used the ps2.exe tool to 
re-configure the system settings, setting the port at IRQ 3.  Avrdude now works 
fine under FreeBSD.  Not entirely sure why this is yet as there were no 
conflicts, but no matter.  It works!  

Many thanks all, and sorry for the wasted bandwidth.
