This way you have to youse S5 cable ( tty to 232 or USB) Best Regards

StevenF. Posts: 5 Rating: (0)	HelloWijekoon Thanks for the reply! I have a Siemens Simatic Power PG, with a PCMCIA-slot. The PG is running Windows 2000 and Step 5/ST V7.1 is installed (running in DOS-mode). Can I use this setup for the backup-operation, or do i need S5 for windows? Is the process similar to reading/blowing epromms with Step 5? Thanks again. Regards Steven

StevenF. Posts: 5 Rating: (0)	Why do i need the adapter (i have it though)? The PG has a pcmcia-port in which the flash-module will go directly into. I can't seem the find the correct operation in the Step 5 program to do the backup. I have the manual but can't find anything there either. Any advice would be helpfull! Thanks in advance Regards Steven
