Here is what I found....probably not helpful, but data points at any rate.
Connected to the FT-60, on download I see RTS/CTS (connected together) go high, that is important as it powers my interface. Then a good stream of data as it is downloaded.
On upload, I see RTS/CTS go high, then one short data burst, maybe a couple of characters, then the error pops up and data stops and RTS/CTS goes low.
I did one other thing, I loaded the program on my Macbook Air. I got the same results, I can read the FT-60 but not write it. I can read and write the FT-8900 on the Macbook same as on the PC.
It could be the Chirp software, or it could be hardware. But, as far as the hardware, it doesn't make sense that the FTB60 will work ok.
Suggestions anyone?

I'm guessing this is the behavior you observed from Chirp. What could be really helpful in identifying the problem is to also observe the behavior of FTB60 and report any differences to Chirp. Since your outcomes are different with each software, they must be doing something different. If the difference is identified, we could tweak Chirp to work more like FTB60.
