Hi Folks. Is there anyone out there using the old Heath weather station with the upgraded cpu? I can't seem to get it to work with the computer. Computer will communicate with lots of other serial devices but not the weather station? Have tried switching pins 2 & 3 with no luck - sometimes a problem what is in and what is out - but doesn't work either way. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I'm no expert, but...

Have you tried different baud rates? Another thing to try is hitting control-Q. The flow control on my Heathkit 5001 locks up sometimes when turning things on and off, and control-Q restarts it. If that fails, look on a scope or AC voltmeter and see if there really is anything coming out of the serial port.
