What happens if you swap the 2 cables at the receivers? Does the<br>
problem follow the cable?<br>
What happens if you swap the 2 Serial-to-USB adapters, does the<br>
problem follow the adapter?<br>
What about swapping the 2 USB cables at the computer? (basicaly<br>
swapping the USB ports)<br>
Does the D12-700 uses the same command set as the D12-100?<br>
<br>
I have no direct experience, just trying to see what you may have<br>
tried (or not).<br>
