I've got the basic patches working inside MAX on my Tablet PC, Fujitsu
T4210, now but I still can only seem to get it to work with the serial
patch within Max. Thats not really my question, I have a second Tablet
PC, Taiwanese Flybook, that doesnt respond to any "serial" apps or
patches. I've gone in and checked under system setting the COM port it
wants to hook up to and it reports back COM 5. That number never comes
up in the serial patch. So I tried forcing it into COM 3 or COM 1 and I
dont get any response from the monome, the start up lights just stay on.
MonomeSerial recognizes its plugged in but I don't fully understand this
apps routing yet.
Any Windows ninjas out there that might be able to help please let me
know.

i think the max patch doesnt like comports > 4.  maybe that is fixed in 
newer versions, i dont know.

monome serial doesnt work at all for you?  does it open up, or does it 
just not detect the device?

win XP Pro and I've used com8 from the beginning, no problems.

I'm thinking maybe this USB port isn't up to specs. I know it doesn't 
output regular USB 2.0 voltage. When I open MonomeSerial it does find 
the device same number as when tried on my Fujitsu.
I'll try on a few other systems tomorrow at work see if it's my 
hardware...
Apple needs to release a touchscreen tablet fast it'll probably cost as 
much as a lemur but multi-touch is where its at.

EDIT: Office computers are lowered privaliges for the grunts. Have a 
friend comgin over later to take a look, I'll post back with any info.

OK I have it working now. Seems that Max 4.6 is what was needed, I had 
to uninstall my old Max 4.5 and install the 4.6 runtime. Now my Fujitsu 
sees a whole bunch of COM ports including my Monome. This also helped 
getting my Flybook laptop to see the Monome as well but its just not 
fast enough to update the lights and respond quickly. It's the VIA 
chipset inside, crappy chip no floating point on the hardware so it has 
to run software for it. 900MHZ VIA is equal to about 450MHZ Intel very 
annoying. Thanks for the feedback. I hope this might help someone else 
down the road.
