<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=609091615-19122005><FONT face=Arial
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>
