My machine has an A2232 card and I have used NSDpatch to retarget some of the
serial device units. Also my default serial unit is unit 6. I tried changing
the default to unit 1 but Debug/SAD still freezes the machine instantly.
I don't have a problem with not messing with things if I don't know what I'm
doing but I wonder about the wisdom of putting things that shouldn't be messed
with in the default workbench menu. Wouldn't most people assume that items in
the workbench menu were there for them to use?

Dopus does not show a .info file on df0:. However, snapshot fails with the 205
error. There is disk activity as a result of the snapshot - attempting to read
a non-existent .info file maybe?
When I rename def_DF0.info a different icon shows up so you have the "problem"
spot on, however, the updated library doesn't seem to be the solution.
Back to the HP3100.
Is there any way that I can get the source code for the HP3100 driver? Or
specs on the HP3100 interface protocol for that matter - the HP web site is
really not very helpful in this regard.
Regards and thanks for the help,
