I picked up one at a Flea and need to know how to access the internal status software using my old 486 laptop running WIN98SE. I have not done the RS-422 to RS-232 conversion yet. I think I need to do a System Re-Set. Thanks, Dick, W1KSZ ___ time-nuts

Thanks for the replies, but I wanted to know if I could access the internal program without converting the data port. It looks like the answer is no, so time to dis-embowel this thing and modify it. Tnx, Dick, W1KSZ ___ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nu
