I had to change the port in VDS options to com4 even though my laptop only has 1 port lol.
I used the boot disc thats on this thread that was fixed to have a baud rate of 9960.
There is a guy on TDIclub who is going to try crack it........not sure if he is all talk.....but i'll keep checking his progress.
will be borrowing a mates laptop tomorrow and try it out, as mine doesnt have serial, but i do have a pcmcia to serial card, however mine also has no pcmcia card but a mates has...
