Hello Chris!

I'm running Windows 7 Home Edition.

I hope this mailing list allows file attachment so I can show pictures
of what I'm seeing. If not, I'll re-post with links to GDrive instead.

Pic 1 shows the output from a little support program that shows what
version of the cable chipset I'm using.

Pic 2 shows the error I get when I try to send from the computer to the
FT-60 when following the on-screen instructions including holding down
the "OK" button for a full second as recommended by W7VMK.

Pic 3 is a window from FT-60 Commander that shows that I've enabled the
"Alternate Write Mode" because if I don't check it I can't send to the
FT-60.

Pic 4 shows the revised method of setting the FT-60 to receive data from
the computer. Please note that this alternate set of instructions was
provided by FT-60 Commander and this method WORKS.

Maybe this alternate method can be included into CHIRP someday.

I'm convinced it the particular cable I'm using but it's only a guess.
