[Techtoolslist] Directory success !!! (for HDR that is.)

[Andre Huijts]

Yup, Been reading a lot lately, just started in the applications manual where thing start to become really interesting.....:)

One of the things I read (in anothe manual) you can setup the RS-232 ports to an oozing speed of 19200 bps.....well at least it's double that of the 9600 default setting, and sure helps to get data across a bit quicker :) Might wanna add that to your document Martin ;)

So.....who of you guys have made any programs for arcade game hardware testing and fault finding ?
