I need some information about using Crosstalk with the Quadram 384 k expansion board. Ever since I upgraded from 256 k board to 384 k board my Crosstalk program is dropping the first characters on a line. Not consistently but with several remote machines and always will do it at least a few times during a login session. I tried the same everything on another machine without the 384 k board and it works (modem, line, software so on..) I replaced the whole pc with another machine and different board (also a 384 k) and the problem is still there. Any ideas? This is real annoying. Does Microstuff read this ? If so please HELP!

I have used both version 3.5 and 3.6 and they both work fine. Could you have two serial ports both addressed as COM1 or COM2 ? --Roy -- Roy A.

I think some memory boards toggle a status line that tells the processor to wait a cycle or so cause the memory board is slow. Maybe this is the source, a slow expansion board. (assuming the 256k was on mother and to go to 384k you added memory on an expansion board) just a guess
