OK, I'll try that also.

BTW, I now have nqc running on my *old* SE/30 (8MB) with a version of
MPW I found on ETO-20. Everything seems to work fine. Downloads firmware
as well as test.nqc  Still mystified by the PB-G3.

As an additional note, I have used that same serial port to dump HPGL
to a plotter with Claris-Works. Worked fine. So I know the port works
(or at least it did).
