PCM read time Im using LS1edit through a Keyspan usb->serial adapter and it is taking FOREVER to download the PCM flash file, on the order of 2 hours. Is anyone using the same setup or have any suggetions? I am really frustrated cuz I havent gotten a whole read in yet because it just takes too damn long 
Thanks

damn.. edit does take forever to read.. but usually only took me about 20 minutes...
HPT takes about 2 minutes ...
If it's taking that long w/your edit... I'd think it's a problem w/ the keyspan (DO NOT try writing w/that if you ever do get a full read... ) unit....
I would do a few things
#1 uninstall and reinstall LS1 Edit
if it still fails to read
#2 borrow a friends laptop w/a REAL serial port...
if that works
#3 get a laptop w/a REAL serial port....
