Did anyone ever get any answers to these issues? Having the same issue connecting to a HBS507.
Hi all,
has anyone had any luck connecting the HBS86H drive with the protuner software? I found and resurrected a winXP machine, built the serial cable, and have tried all the COM ports (physical and numbered) on three identical drives but no joy. I get the same error messages as Kadmos, no connection.
thanks
Yes, I continue to be able to connect to the HBS86H drives by selecting one of the higher COM ports in the ProTuner combobox. The exact port that works is variable, so I just try them all in order until I find the one that works. It's a pain, but I haven't found an alternative solution.
Sometimes on the first run thru non of COM ports will work, but unplugging the USB and powering down the drive and then connecting again seems to resolve that most of the time.
For the record I am using Win7.
OK, so what happens when you try to connect to the wrong COM port? I've been through every number (1-10) and numbers 1 and 2 give me the 'communication fail!..' error, whereas all other com port numbers give me 'COM error'.
Can you tell me which version of ProTuner you're using, or post a download link for your working version?
Thank you for your answer!
This is the version of ProTuner I've been using:

HALLELUJA! So that is not a version I'd tried yet (I tried 3 other versions, numbered either 1.2 or 1.3, with no luck). Connected with the driver using COM1 on the very first attempt, just now. Thank you so much. I'm heading back in with the ProTuner manual to see if I can tweak my setup to behave itself better; I'll report back, but this is a bit of progress.
Thanks again KCJ!

Hurray! Glad that worked for you! There are so many versions of ProTuner out there it gets really confusing.
