Hi Russell,

In the past, I developed a PIC18F452 bootloader that operated at 460,800 bps
on Windows XP and Windows 98 SE. I have a SIIG Quartet PCI serial port card.
I don't remember right now if my native motherboard serial ports were able
to be used in conjunction with the bootloader, but the SIIG add-on card was
able to no sweat.

Ask Ken Mardle to check the highest available baud rate in the combo box
under the serial ports in Device Manager.

I checked my native motherboard serial ports with HyperTerminal and could
not get them to open a port at 230,400 bps.
With my SIIG card I could open a port with HyperTerminal at 921,600 bps.

One solution: Does Ken have a PCI slot free to add a PCI serial port card?

Best regards,

Ken Pergola
