That is intersting.
That may get me to where I need to be quickly , I may have to go that route and revisit this later.
Thanks Again.

ok, I have been playing with the hardware and the code you wrote. If I understand the code (keep in mind I am used to straight addressing outs. Each of the three ports having a dedicated address, so this code is quite differant) It seems that the code is virtual, not really outputting. Is that corre...

Success!!!!!!!!! I uninstalled everything. Reloaded with a fresh download. Put the cbw32.dll in the FB directory in the examples folder and in the main folder. It compiled and ran. Now I need to understand what the output I saw was. Again T H A N K Y o U phishguy for sticking it out. I will update y...

I know thank you. I haven't given up yet. I will try to reinstall and then find the actual cbw32.dll again. A real challange to be sure.
Thanks again.

put the cbw32.dll in the same folder as FB. It compiled, however on run it stated it could not find the cbw32.dll.

trying that now

Went back and tried to compile MikeW code again and got the same error.

ok downloaded and installed. Got through the first error and have a new one
Cannot find lcbw2

I will check right now

Copied and pasted.
The IDE found and error with Extern "windows-MS"
I am using the IDE that bundled FB with it.
Perhaps I will try the command line compiler to see if it truly is a setup issue.

Thanks guys.
I will try these first thing in the morning. I have to admit this is sort of trail by fire. Short deadline and much to learn.
I almost gave up and went back to an embedded 486 PC 104 . Comfort zone and all.

Again I think that my IDE is not setup correctly. It chokes on MichaelW code.
The first choke is on line 3 set basename="cbw32".

I am working on that now. Found the CBW file.
I think part of my struggle is I do not have the FB IDE setup correctly. It chokes on external stuff.

I understood the Bus Relations. Where do I find the GUID?

As I was looking through my old QB code I realized that the CyberReasearch cards that I used were ISA plug ins in I used the address to talk with them ; IE three 8 bit ports plus one or the configuration. They never were COMM ports. On this project I am doing most of the work and the final deploymen...
