To say it was a PITA is a understatment but thankfully years of VB development left me at least slightly prepared.

Would you be ablewilling to make the necessary modification to Dosbox for us Thank you. ![]() I can compile in VS 2008 but then I dont know how to add in the patch. You should be able to build it with VisualStudio or whatever. I am trying to get a old DOS program to talk to a hardware device using either 1200 or 2400 baud 8 N 1. Dosbox Serial Port Serial Port AsUsing my Dell Latitude laptop with a docking station that has a physical serial port as COM 1. Dosbox Serial Port Windows 7 And WindowsI can sucessfully run the program using DOSBox and communicate to the device every time under both Windows 7 and Windows 10 using that physical COM port. The adapter is setup as COM 2 and using HyperTerminal the adapter works fine. I then switch the software over to COM 2 and start getting this. I just took the sources from SVN, applied the patch and compiled the whole thing. I needed the modified version myself and wanted to provide the EXE as some people stated they didnt know how to compile the code. So Im not yet able to give any feedback about the success of the patch. Dosbox Serial Port Patch Turns OffWhile the above 249 Patch turns off the 5 n 1 error it does not address the Com 2 connectivity issue. I have a Dell Latitude with a Legacy Port Expander that provides a actual COM1 serial port (9 pin) and the program does work using DOSBOX through that, just not any USB adapters. However Dell like everyone else is getting away from legacy ports so its only a matter of time before thats not a option either.
