color=#0000ff size=2>There are a few USB adapters out there that have trouble
with the OpenTracker. This seems to be due to the fact that the turnaround
between RX and TX is too slow to respond to the bootloader's startup signal in
time. What model USB adapter are you using, and do you have a standard
serial port to test with?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
