Reply to "DCS start-up Windows 10 observations and questions"

FWIW, a couple of Windows updates ago, my bench TIU suddenly stopped properly loading sound and chain files with the USB port.  I switched to the serial port and all was well.  I'm not sure what happened, but it was a Windows 10 change that broke the USB in my case.

FYI, the USB connector on the TIU is the same type that appears on a vast range of USB products, it's the industry standard.  The most common USB cable on the planet is the USB A to B cable, it's used in a LOT more than printers.  I have disk drives, scanners, UPS boxes, etc. that all use the same connection.

Thanks for the reply, John.  Yes, I humbly admit I was thinking the cord would have a rectangular end on both ends and the input on the TIU would match the rectangular plug on the right side of the photo above.   I discovered it was the cord above after watching MTH's DCS video on You Tube (which was very helpful, too.)

I'm glad my TIU has both serial and USB.  That way I have a back up in case one does not work.  On the next update I  think I will try the serial port.
