Hello, Thank you very much Johnmar. You are a life saver. All my daughters first year photos were nearly lost. With your instructions I got all my data back. Dreamsat, Thank you for the photo. I shortcircuited the pins you specified and it worked like a charm. I was struggling to get the FT > prompt in the hyper terminal earlier. I got a lot of information from the other thread to resolve the problems. Dham
