DAK sells the system in several "flavors" for several popular computers: IBM compatibles, Apple II, Commodore, and Macintosh. If you have another computer you can order the IBM version - you won't have all the fancy menu driven software, but it does come with a manual that explains how to talk to the controller over any 600 baud serial port. I have never had a problem with the BSR modules except for brief periods (on the order of a couple of hours every couple of months) some devices will fail to respond to some commands. I have attributed this to noise on AC lines but I have no idea how to find out anything more. -- Peter Fales UUCP: ...ihnp4!ihlpl!psfales work: (312) 979-7784 AT&T Information Systems, IW 1Z-243 1100 E.
