I personally can't risk putting mine up on eBay for some type of rental agreement like I've seen other programmers on there, because if something went wrong, then getting a new dongle would be both too expensive and possibly very hard to acquire again now. However in saying that, if someone was local enough to meet me in person, then I'm more than happy to share the usage of mine if it'll help someone make some changes to their chair that they otherwise wouldn't be able to. Just seems a shame that now I've made the adjustments I wanted to make, mine isn't being used at the moment without a safe way to share it. It could also save a lot of people paying out many 100's of dollars, pounds, etc to buy a programmer if they're only wanting to make changes on one chair too.
Anyway is anyone else thinking along the same lines and/or willing to list their city for someone to use your programmer either on the spot or very short-term?? If not, then don't worry.
Personally I'm located on a small but rather unimportant island, called "Australia", and in case one or two of you have heard of it before, I'm in the city of Sydney. If you manage to find it, feel free to catch a ride on one of the regular kangaroo's to get to me.
All the best, Joe : )

Could someone please point me in the right direction?
I maintain my fathers mobility scooters (he has a fleet of three these days, don't ask me why), all Sterling Sapphire 2's. These contain the S-Drive controllers that I'm struggling with.
At one point a few years ago we replaced one of his controllers and I made myself up one of the programming leads that are described elsewhere on the forum and all was well, communicated no problem with my laptop and all was good. That lead has now disappeared so I made myself a new one (used to be in electronics so no problem), do you think I can get this lead to communicate - not a chance. I've wasted many hours trying to get it to work (loopback test works fine so I assume the cable is OK), laptop appears to connect and load it's drivers (Win 7 Pro), I've tried all permutations of Comms 1 to 8 in both the driver software and the mobility SW (same copy as used before so I'm sure it works). Yet still I get COMMS INACTIVE and obviously that's an issue....
Anybody have any useful suggestions? (drivers maybe? get another lead and try again?)
Thanks & Regards to you all, Mark.
