I held on to an old Compaq laptop running Windows Me, so I plugged it in and the darn thing booted up.  I installed the software, and after a little fooling about with the serial port settings, actually got the cutter to work.  It has been a long time since I had to fool with baud rate, parity, and handshaking. Today's USB and Bluetooth technology make it too easy.
