Re: Programming the Fluke 9100 - Am I out of luck?

<x-flowed>

Actually the 9100 unit requires 1200 baud ASCII 1 start bit, 8 data, and 2
stop bits.

Anyone know what the IBM keyboard sends out? I've been playing with my 9100
this afternoon, and it states "Keyboard missing" when I attempt to use the
EDIT function. I am going to attempt to read the SCSI based drive with my
W2K SCSI interface. Doubt it will work, but nothing to loose, perhaps it
can be read...more later if anyone is interested...
