[slinkelist] communicating with an slink-e directly

[Edward Seger]

Folks,
    Has anyone ever built and sent commands directly to the slink-e without
using the active x or cpp code supplied?  I am trying to use the slink-e
from a DOS computer to control a few changers.  The commands in the nirvis
help don't seem to be the same that the slink-e uses.  CDJ works fine, and
when I capture the serial stream I get a very different response than what I
see in the help files.  I think I have the correct baud and settings because
I see the slink-e serial number coming back.  Here is what I send to ask for
the serial number:

FF 0B

I get nothing back

CDJ gets this response from the slink-e when it asks:

FF 86 36 EC F5 39 14 67 BC C5

The FF and 86 do not match anything in the help files.  Any ideas?
