Bit and / or Marcus: help setting up Ubuntu Linux for flashing with MySamBa

[John Galt]

OK this is really weird. I rebooted the Linux machine and attempted to communicate using MySamBa again. Failed again. No surprise.

Upon examining the contents of ~/.wine/dosdevices, I came across the following entry (among all the others):

Code:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 john john 12 Dec 20 16:46 com33 -> /dev/ttyUSB0

In MySamBa, I selected COM33 from the dropdown menu, and sent the file. It works!

Given what I did, how in blazes did COM33 become created there? Obviously I screwed something up. Can I undo it? It's probably not necessary, but it would be nice to have a consistent UI. It would be even nicer if I knew what the heck I was doing.
