I did boot to DOS mode.
This is an old windows 95 laptop, with and old version of Dos.
You can bypass the startup scripts for windows with the button F8.
You can then drop to DOS, with no windows being loaded at all.
So, its just like booting from a DOS disk.
Still it will see the TCU. I checked BIOS, and it shows COM1 is on..

I said it before and I'll say it again... unless you're booting from a DOS
disk, the software won't run. IMHO of course

Hello,
I downloaded the new version of testing software for the TCU.
Then I checked the serial numbers (again), and my serial number is above the
need
for a dongle..
I then started my laptop up in DOS mode only..
I turned the TCU on, the turbo warning lights went on then off. But, when
the program
tries to "talk" to the TCU it tells me "Error Serial I/O". The manual says
that its
not talking to the TCU.
I have no idea what version the TCU is. The engine was installed in 1999 -
2000 range.
Any ideas? The serial cable looks fine.. I would have to take the panel out
to get to the TCU.
INFO:
We have been having oil temp problems, so we did the mod where it lowers the
oil cooler down.
GREAT! The oil is now down to around 210~ .. BUT the Water temp shot up so
high it blew the
antifreeze reservoir tubing off.. with antifreeze going everywhere! Our EIS
2000 has a page that
says "Coolant Temp", but always reads 59F.. Is there a place on the Rotax to
read Coolant temp? Or
do I keep an eye on the CHT? The CHT climbing past 275F was our clue
yesterday.
We are adding another mod so that it keeps the air separate between the oil
and water cooler.. that
should help.
