I specified all the devices in turn and it still didn't recognise
anything. I entered the init string that I got off of Internet Connect
log window on OS X. Could it be possible that this is the wrong init
string? I also tried raising the pre and post init times to 200 and
still no dice. Any suggestions (sorry to torture you...).
