Believe 96 was the transitional year for the vector drive.

Mike does your 96 have the Brushless Servos sticker on the front?

Geoff, there should be a build sheet taped to the inside cabinet door. It will tell you how the machine was configured.

You can get into debug and see how many hours have been recorded however...

Hey Mike,

The behavor by itself does sound like it could be the serial interface board and/or it's internal cable (not your external since you swapped it from a working machine). The only...

^ this above ... one that's been confirmed ....I'd recommend stepping down to 9600 baud, just to get a connection. If you can get the machines communicating, you can then try to speed things up...

Thanks again Phil.

I think it may be the power. I let it run a few hrs today. Sporadically checked the LPS. The temp on the DIAG screen made it up to 94F and at during one check the 12 V was...
