What is the most likely culprit of communication failure? There aren't any errors, just LSK blinking and blinking and blinking forever and ever like I failed to hit send from the PC feeding it. Everything to the machine is fine as the system works when plugged into other machines both for sending and receiving. I figure I would take the short cut of asking here first as I am getting too old and battered to enjoy crawling on the ground playing machine tech. Calling someone is out as service calls here are pricey and you also get incompetent tail chasers, tried that route years ago, never again.
Worse yet I need to figure out how to manually key in the next program as it is only 40 short lines. My off the top of the head attempts get "format error". There aren't any programs in the machine, I dumped them all or I would just alter one of those, I have no problem doing that. The machine also has a port next to the CRT that I think can be used to input programs with a hand held device, I believe the previous owner used that. I wonder if that would work, or if the RS-232 system was dead, that would be also. Looks like about 2 rows of 25 pins a side, no idea what you call that?
