1826.0. "BC19M-10 does not work with AlphaStation 255 ?!" by NETRIX::"[email protected]" (Detlef Schmier) Thu Jan 30 1997 05:37

Hi,

one of our customers has an AlphaStation 200 4/100 with a LN14NCD
(DEClaser 3500) connected to it via a BC19M-10.

Now he got a new AlphaStation 255 4/233 and is using the same printer
and cable, but it doesn't work. He went to a PC shop and bought an
ordinary printer cable and it functioned.

Any idea why this happens ?

Detlef.

1826.1maybe it's just brokenWRKSYS::SCHUMANNThu Jan 30 1997 21:487
Does the old cable still work in the old config?
Perhaps the old printer cable failed while re-cabling. If
you really care, use an ohm-meter to check the old cable
for continuity on all pins.
