I just recently got my new (new to me, the machine is a '91) VF1 powered up with my new Phase Perfect digital converter and had good success with it in terms of jogging the table around, and simple stuff. Today, I went to load a program to it via RS232 and now something is all screwed up!

With the HAAS "WAITING..." for the program, I initiated the transfer at the PC...nothing. Turns out the HAAS froze up or something, wouldn't resond to any keystrokes or anything. Finally had to shut the machine off and tried to reboot. When I turned the machine back on, I got a constant beep out of the control and a bunch of lines on the screen. Turned it on and off a bunch of times hoping that would do *something* and finally the beep went away but still nothing on the screen.

I looked on the main processor PCB and I see the HALT LED is on. I checked voltage out of the PC-type power supply in the rear cabinet and that seems OK.

Anybody have any ideas where to go from here??

Thanks everybody!
