Every time you unplug and re-plug a USB serial cable you cause the system
to create a new IRQ address for it, called COM5, 6,7,8,9 etc. If you do
the thing where you "remove usb devices safely" routine you can avoid this.

Actually,
Hi Ethan
That is entirely possible. I do think about it when I plug and unplug the USB
floppy drive but not usually for the serial.
Is there a way to finish them or maybe stick things in so that I can "safely
remove" things? Most of the time for serial, I use a FTDI but I do have some
older USB
Actually, I do use it almost exclusively with classic machines. I use the RS232
to load and talk to my Nicolet 1080 ( a late 1960s to early 1970 ) machine. I
just got done using it to repair a North * Horizon. If I'm leaving trails
behind me that I can't get rid of, each time I use it as a termi
I've been helping the MAME guys simulate a TS-2624, which is a block mode HP
emulating terminal.
I had bought this a while ago, and never dumped the firmware. Unfortunately
there is a large
NiCd battery right in the middle of the board that leaked all over. I've taken
some pictures
which are up
The later model 500/5000 have a small NiCd as well.

Shouldn't that be IEFBR14?

Just had a closer look at the TS-2624 and it does indeed have the battery on
the board; looks like that's one of the differences from the TS-1x.
Looks like I or someone had enough foresight to remove it from this board
before it caused any damage.
