While you're here, how about checking out the Astronomy Book List ?

Hi Greg,

I had a similar problem. In my case the pc's CDROM was a SCSI unit and was
unit 0. The SCSI card I added was unit 1 (this is different than the SCSI
ID). The pictor.ini file assumes that the SCSI card you are connected to is
0. I can't remember if it's the SCSI_ADAPTER_NUMBER or SCSI_LUN but one of
those had to be set to 1. These settings are in the [SCSI Settings] in your
pictor.ini file. I simply editted the pictor.ini file and changed the value
to 1.

As for the SCSI ID I left that set to 4.

Hope this helps,
Karen

[Not sure if this went through the first time on my other email account,
so sorry for the duplicate.]

Hiya all,

Im using a 416xt Pictor / LX200 12" connected to a Fujitsu Lifebook
300c
(300c Im pretty sure)... I'm using an adaptec SCSI card plugged into it
(laptop). I forget the model # but I know it works with the 416xt (saw
a
message a long time ago on it). Anyhow, I don't have my mail archived,
so I
can't find that specific message to solve this problem:

I can not get the laptop to establish communication with the Pictor.
I
tried using a Serial connection and it worked just fine (slow, but
fine),
but the SCSI just hangs after clicking Connect , and then errors out. I
have the SCSI ID on the box set to 7 (was at 4 default, changed it back
to
4, no work) and set to 7 on the software. I tried 4 and 7 (7 should be
it
since that is the SCSI id I have set?). If anyone could help out with
this
would be great. I have not used the telescope since NOVEMBER and I got
it
in October (busybusy, coldcold but oooh nice skies), it's getting nice
out
now and I really want to put this puppy to work!

Thanks in advance ;)
