Yes, I know this problem.
The PC's serial port is known for detecting levels below 1 V
as LOW and above 1.25 V as HIGH.

That's the reason why this circuit works and why it won't on some
of the 'not so compatible' PC's.

Sounds interesting. Where can I get it ?

Sounds interesting, too :-)
I've planned to convert my software to OS/2 by using Virtual Pascal.
