ZX-1281 Dev PCB seems to be powered correctly, however, I can't seem to communicate with it, nor do I note any options in the IDE to select USB communications.
THANKS!
Using USB port
The IDE communicates with a ZX device over the USB by using a virtual COM port. Assuming that you have installed the FTDI VCP or CDM driver (the newer CDM driver is recommended), the next step is to determine the number of the COM port that Windows has assigned to the Virtual Comm Port. This can be done using the control panel System applet (click the Device Manager button on the Hardware tab, and then examine the Ports entry).
Assuming that Windows assigned COM5, for example, you then need to select COM5 as the serial port for the IDE to communicate with the ZX. This is done using the dialog reached by selecting the "Serial Port Options..." entry on the Options menu.
