I own an old Roland Stika vinyl cutter, and I actually found the original 3.5" floppy install disks. 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.</span></div><div></div><div> </div><div>Bob Kane<br><a href="mailto:getterflash@yahoo.com">getterflash@yahoo.com</a></div></div></div>_______________________________________________<br>NSRCA-discussion mailing list<br><a href="mailto:NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org">NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org</a><br>http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-discussion</blockquote></div><br></div></body></html>
