Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hi Guys.

Over the past few nights I have attempted in vain to connect my 
DTXPRESS to my laptop using the CCIBM Serial To-Host cable. For a 
rundown of my hardware here it is. I have a Dell Latitude CP-XJ 
running Windows 2000. The onboard sound card is an ESS Maestro.

I purchased the Serial To Host cable last week and expected that I 
would be able to connect the DTXPRESS to my notebook through the 
serial port. I dowloaded the Yamaha CBX drivers for this process but 
so far I have been unable to establish any communication between the 
two. Last night I downloaded the DTXCHANGE SysEx utility from 
DTXpressions but I did not establish any connection either.

When using Stickmaster I receive error messages of the following 
format:

"Cannot change the MIDI Device (output)"
Inside this software I cannot set my the Output device to be the 
Yamaha DVX A driver.  

Can anyone who has experience using the serial port to connect to the 
To Host port on the DTXpress please advise on these issues.
Many thanks in advance,
Brian

Did you switch to HOST mode, behind the module?

Best Regards,
YGS
