How is your Alva Satellite 544 connected? I'm assuming that it's via USB, but
are you using a simple USB cable or a serial adapter? Normal autodetection
should work if you're using a simple
Hello Aldo,
I started this message before I got Dave's and I didn't want to abandon all
my beautiful writing. So here goes anyway:
