It doesn't work on the serial line either. I don't see how it could
have noise on the serial line when nothing is connected to it. I tried
it with and without the serial line plugged in. Also, I tried it on
three separate and completely different computers. In particular, a
Dell, an epox motherboard, and another motherboard that I've forgotten
the brand name of. One computer has a single serial port, the other one
has only one enabled, and the one I tried today has a serial line
connected to it that is connected to my EDB7xxx board while the board is
off.
One other thing I forgot to mention before is that I do get the redboot
prompt if I connect to the serial line from the host machine before
booting the RedBoot server. Although I do get the prompt, it won't
respond to anything.
