Re: Crucible Meteor....

Mark,

>From dark & distant memory (No longer use my Meteor, thanks to
NT-Hell)... I
recall the device is powered from the serial port, and the COM port must be
opened for this to happen. In which case, just making the connections isn't
enough, - you have to run software to open the COM port, thus asserting one
of the serial port pins high, from which the Meteor derives its power...
