Right now my 5100 is setting on a table, I am not using it at this moment but will be, if someone can use it to do the coding I am quite willing to ship it to them so they can get on it.
I was trying to remember the Icom program, it was not much, indeed I used it to write code plugs for the radio and load them on the memory card, then shove the card into the radio.
I do recall that the radio when it was connected to the application, looked more like remote control of the radio than actual programming, but you were able to download and upload the memories, but it was all faster just to fiddle the bits on the memory card.

Apparently quite different. Looking at the "full" manual for the ID-5100A, the entire command set (0x1A) that's used by Chirp's Icom live mode driver for programming is missing, and there are no commands to retrieve or set memories. It would appear that the CI-V interface on the ID-5100A is focused on control and not programming. Unless the command is implemented but just omitted from the CI-V documentation, that means the ID-5100A would need a clone mode driver, and not a variant of the IC-7100 driver.
Someone said they were working on a driver for the ID-5100A and had a functioning prototype, but that was 7 years ago ...

I wonder how much different the format is on the ID 5100 from the 7100. Sure would like to have Chirp working on the 5100.
I am still willing to loan the radio to someone who could work on the code for the 5100...

Assuming it's the same as for the IC-910H, the CI-V Transceive function is like a real-time updating facility, whereby when you tune the radio manually, it continually sends CI-V data to the computer. You do not want this enabled while running Chirp. FLRIG quite likely does want this enabled, so this may be the setting that Jim was referring to.
The Chirp driver for the IC-7100 is a live mode driver. As such, Chirp uses the CI-V interface to talk to, and receive data from, the radio. I don't know about the connectors on that radio, but make sure you're connecting to the CI-V interface.

Two COM port numbers are assigned to the [USB] connector. One of them is “USB1,” used for cloning and CI-V operation. The other one is “USB2,” whose function is selected in “USB2 Function” item of the “Connectors” Set mode. (p. 6-8)

I know that when I used CHIRP on my IC-7300, I used a different cable than I did when I used FLRIG. I also had to edit a setting in the radio for CHIRP and change it back for FLRIG.
