How much soldering does the intermediate Talrik II kit (TALRIKPA) require?
If you purchase the Talrikpa (circuit boards assembled & tested), the soldering job is roughly as follows for the wiring: 12 three wire cables, 6 soldering points, 3 at each end for a total of 72 solder joints. 35 two wire cables, 4 soldering points for 140 more. Odd solder job here and there. Total around 225 or so solder points. Q: When using the 115kbps high-speed downloader on my new computer, I sometimes get a “Bootload failure (acknowledge mismatch)”. Also, when using the slow PCBug11 downloader I get failures also. A: It seems that on some Win95 computers the serial port is either in conflict with other peripherals or is being interrupted by another process. So far there is no clear solution for this other than possibly creating a hardware profile in Win95 that shuts down all extra cards and peripherals (this would require re-booting every time to use the HSSDL11. If you use the auto-download feature on the HSSDL11 then every time you press the reset button it will download the
