Reply to "Timy and USB"

Wow, I had no idea there was so much history on this topic ...

My club just purchased a TIMY2 for backup timing. I decided to save some money, and just use the USB cable that comes with the timer instead of purchasing the special serial cable. Installed all the drivers (apparently different for TIMY and TIMY2), did the ComToFile thing, etc., and had everything working in my basement.

Last Sunday was our 1st big race, and I've got no connection. On a whim, I try a different USB cable, and that seemed to fix it. Three days later at our club's Family Fun Race, I can't get a USB connection with either USB cable. Since we weren't using back-up timing, I was able to just switch to serial.

Needless to say, I'm ordering another serial cable. I can't handle the stress of USB ...
