Psion 5MX and Win7HP (32 bit) - can't connect

  • I have two of these that I played with a bit back in the day but not for at least 8 years.  I tried to connect to a Win7 desktop PC having one real serial port (COM1) and one USB-serial adapter (COM4).

    I did a hard reset (paperclip-shift-shift-ESC) and did Tools|Remote Link|Cable-115200|OK.

    My PC COM ports show 115200-N-8-1, hardware control in the Control Panel.

    When I plug in, nothing happens.

    I set My Psion|Properties|Connections to COM1 and "maximum obtainable"

    It won't connect.

    Same for COM4.

    I can run Psion Synchronizer in XP Compatibilty mode, but do not see any way to do that for My Psion.

    I am for the moment without an XP machine to try due to a motherboard failure.

    Any suggestions?
