Re: turbo edit reading from usb NOT comm port

burn2 or any other "simple" usb device creates "Virtual com port" (you plug in a usb device but windows see it as a com port)

turbo edit can use devices with com port number 1 to 8 and burn2 probably is over that number

you have to change port number in advanced options of windows (device manager) to the one between 1 and 8

TE doesn't directly burn through the Burn2. You have to install "Flash&Burn" from moates.net.
