Perhaps it is the non-standard /dev/usb/ttyUSB0 that is confusing my cqrlog app?Aitch wrote:More suggestions, though this is for a new high speed RS232 cable I spotted, which is advertised as; cross platform, 230kb/s, & 'seen as normal comport'
I think it uses the pl2303 chipset rather than ch341 normally used on these converters, & I believe Puppy4 still has issues

How does one use mknod (sp?) to redirect /dev/usb/ttyUSB0 to /dev/ttyUSB0?
I would really rather not add yet another variable. Right now I amp going from my solitary USB 1.1 port to the FTDI-based device then to my radio. Keeping it that simple I need to figure out why the cqrlog app does not recognize the device since USBview now does.
(NOTE: I'd rather use a pcmcia-to-USB2.0 adapter or a USB-to-4portUSB adapter but will hold off on those to keep things simple.)
A gender-confused device? Better be careful how you phrase that! In several formerly free countries free speech is no longer free and you could be fined or jailed if misunderstood! :-/Aitch wrote:I wonder if there is some gender problem/interrupt problem here, since other devices work on that port.

I prefer clusty.com but yes, I have searched and E-mailed the Hamlib and cqrlog and Toughbook lists and forums and tried their suggestions.Aitch wrote:& of course http://cqoogle.com/search/index.php
It is my impression that this is either a Puppy or Panasonic Toughbook CF-28 specific problem as I am suffering a variety of USB problems. Each device I want to use requires a little tinkering.
Thanks for the suggestions - it may well be that I will have to wait for the tweaks to USB in 4.1
