Hi Simon,

I'm not sure if this is what you're hitting here, but one possibility is 
that the flow control settings are incorrect.

When Win-Test sends characters to the Win-Key, it sends one, waits for 
it to get echoed back, then sends the next one. If it's not seeing the 
characters coming back from the Win-Key, it won't continue sending.

Could it be that you need to set the DTR/RTS options on your WinKey 
interface differently?

73,
Rob, M0VFC
