Guys!

I have a device here that is spring-loaded and straddles a DIP IC with pins sticking up, so you can clip your scope probe or voltmeter to the pins. Is there such a clip made for surface mount ICs? It occurs to me that putting 3 volts onto IC17 would let one replace Marquee lithium control board batteries without losing the settings. Without a clip it would be necessary to solder leads to the pins on the IC itself.. The pads for the battery do not lend themselves to trying to solder there. I have been trying to get Librarian and VDC loader to run on my laptop and they are giving me fits........

Uh, none. A 9 pin cable both ends should work, but the error comes back "projector not responding". My laptop talks to the DVX processor okay, so I am stumped.

Is this a cable you used before? There are several 9 pin cables, straight through and null, and the null one has a number of configurations, If it's an old cable, check the continuity, if it's a new one, it might not be configured correctly.
