Chip,

Looking great on your 833A VTTC!!!  Looks like you
have got a pretty hot plate, much akin to what I
currently experience with my single 833A coil.  How
red did the plate run with your parallel port staccato
mode?

By the way, great going with that idea.  I thought of
the RS232 thing too, but it's great that you have
already tried it.  I wouldn't mind hearing more about
that.
