Bob, I remember you from a few years back, when you helped me get
all my packet and data radio working with Linux. What was that...'97?
Anyway, since my serial port on my linux box doesn't work, I'll
need to try this with my windows box.
I wonder if I can use Cygwin and run the perl script just as you
have it below? Otherwise I guess I'll have to replace /dev/tty0
with COM1?
I'm not sure if anything will work though. I've tried the alt key
combo and the hard reset. Neither works. I have the unit hooked via
serial cable to a com port set to 1200 N-8-1 on my windows box so I
think the parameters are all right.
I can't believe it's dead. It's just been in storage. I'll poke
around with a logic probe and meter a bit tonight when I have more
time.
Any other ideas?

The only other thing I can think of is that maybe a 'minute or two'
isn't quite long enough to lose the RAM contents after removing the
battery. If not, it may just screw things up worse. Leave the
battery out for 15 minutes or more. If that doesn't fix it I would
suspect a hardware problem.
Now I remember why I switched to KISS-only EPROMS :^)
