I was doing the update for the Zx-24a and closed the update by accident. I got a message that says 'Device failed to respond to ATN character (4) on COM1' like some other people before.
I then tried to use my Zx-24 processor but got the same message. I would like to try the emergency update procedure but I do not know which file is the zload utility file to enter the code
zload -c1 -e zx24a_3-2-0.zvm. What extension does it have?
I loaded zload.exe in the command prompt and when i enter
'zload -c2 -e zx24a_2-3-0.zvm' it says 'Can't open COM2' and the same if i change the to other COM ports.
The same thing also happen when I try to do it for zx-24

Check that some other application is still not using COM2. It is possible that there is an instance of ZLOAD or ZBASICIDE still running - check the Windows task manager.
I was able to do the emergency update on another computer. I also had to deselect the 'Use ATN character' on the 'serial port options' after to get it to communicate. It is working now. Thanks everyone for your help
I am not sure if I used the 'ATN character' method to download before. It may have been that I was selecting different options to try to get it to work after it crashed and forgot to deselect it.
