edge w/4b hook-up

[beckys]

I installed 2.6, and I had nothing but problems with scanner, having to take out security key and put back in, almost every 4-5 times a day.
I uninstalled 2.6, and re-installed 2.5, everything was working flawlessly except for the 4b.
Can anyone tell me on the list of plotters, which 1 it is, and Im assuming it is a COM1 port right???
thanks for any help

OK I am a total idiot with this type of thing, and still on GA 6.2
But my 4B is listed as SMIV-15-1,Com1:
in my setup doohickey.
Location: Local
Ports:Com1
I have no clue if this helps but Fred oughta know.
Good luck!
Love.....Jill

It could be on any Com port your computer physically has. You need to locate it on your list of plotters. Once you do that you can then assign it to whatever Com ports you may have available. You'll know you have the right one when it works.

I believe it's SMIV-15 I also recall having to type a serial # the 98 PC took a dump a few months ago. I will be in the same situation when I hook it back up. Even had to clean the data link cable connections with an eraser once after it quit working

OK,
Jill, I think that might be it...lol,
so, Fred if its hooked to a adapter that is a usb, is that what they call them, that is a usb, would it still be a com or a usb??
Jill, I don't know crap either, hence my ignorant ??'s,
I'll check in the AM, but they have so many on the list, and I look at it every single day, and I still dont know which 1 it was...lol

I have never seen a 4B or and LMK card hooked up to anything other than a Com port. Nor have I ever hooked up any later equipment to a USB so I can't be of any help.
