I updated to Alex's version 5 proms, and did NOT need to touch the PALs. Perhaps they are simple address decoding...Version 5 does not seem to work any better with PL 6.10 than the earlier version, however the 29B does come up in remote mode as default. Perhaps a minor benefit of not having to punch in &quot;F1&quot; to start up.<br>
<br>
So what is&nbsp; Code 10? Is it a simple raw binary, or is it somewhat padded?<br>

&gt; course, being a computer old timer, I still think 9600 baud <br>
&gt; is pretty quick,<br>
&gt; and am happy to use it (the baud rate which I am happy using a VT320<br>
&gt; connected to a vms box).<br>
<br>
This is probably the cause of my problems. It's been years since<br>
I used the older (pre-version 6) Promlink and don't have access<br>
to it anymore. Did someone have it available on thier website?<br>
<br>
The problem with the RAW BINARY code 16 is that my 29B will not<br>
recognize it. The firmware in mine is version 6, the EPROMs are<br>
numbered 315-14-49 thru 315-14-55. I haven't tried Alex's<br>
version 5 EPROMs yet. I'm hoping that it doesn't require a PAL<br>
change to swap versions, DATA I/O use to be famous for this.<br>

&gt; <x-tab>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</x-tab>I tried using the 6.10 version, and get the hanging <br>
&gt; problem as well.<br>
&gt; With 3.10, I use net rom binaries, and have no problems at all.<br>
<br>
Mike, what the version number of your firmware in the 29B?<br>
