Hi Derryck!
this message usually means that the card is in the wrong address (check
your TRANSPUTER environment variable) or that it has not been reset so
the iserver cant talk to your card. Try the ispy - it will at least give
you a hint about the address (or if it sees any transputer at all).
If you use windows NT you have no chance of communicating with the
transputer without special drivers, since it blocks access to the
hardware.
good luck
Mia
