I haven't found that to be so. I wouldn't call the support perfect, but it's a long way from non-existent. Maybe it's just better in Canada :-). However, we have had problems with the PS 410 getting into odd, and highly useless, states. We run exclusively over AppleTalk with Farallon Star controllers, which are active repeaters. The 410's will become either totally uncommunicative, or will communicate to the extend of showing up in the Chooser, but nothing more. When this happens, they seem not to communicate via the serial port either. The only recourse is to do a "brain wipe" by powering up the unit with both front panel buttons pressed, and reloading the configuration parameters. QMS tells us that the version 8 ROMs, due this week, should cure the problem. /kenw -- /kenw Ken Wallewein A L B E R T A kenw@noah.arc.ab.ca <-- replies (if mailed) here, please R E S E A R C H (403)297-2660 C O U N C I L
