This is an interesting problem though. I’d like to try to get DMC1 Fast to work on a VM with a USB adapter too. Has anyone got this to work? I’m trying to get a USB to 485 adapter to work on an old laptop that works with Com 1 first but haven’t had success with that yet let alone going to the VM.

You will also find that if you try to set up a CLC for testing, only the actual FAST tool likes to work. You will have better luck with a door board. I don’t know why that is, haven’t tried hooking the 2 together to see if then the laptop will talk to the CLC.

Oh, and if you get the 25 pin harness from TKE to hook up for testing this out, remember the Red wire is G24, the Black wire is P24. You will smoke the 485 chip on your FAST tool if you hook it up the way that makes sense. Ask me how I know that. And if you look in a DMC controller you will see that that’s the way that harness is wired there too. And the Orange cord does use that 24v so it has to be present for the adapter to work.
