[Pro2006] Opto OS456 Lite installation problems

[Bill Seward]

OK, I'm kicking myself.  A year and a half ago, I picked up an Opto 
board for my PRO-2006, but never seemed to get time to install it.  This 
weekend, I finally had time, and I can't get it to work.

I've followed the instructions carefully, and 
checked/re-checked/re-re-re-re-checked everything.  The board isn't 
shorting to the chasis, the cables are all pin 1-to-pin 1.  The scanner 
will work normally, but if you try to attach to it with either the Opto 
test program or Probe, you get a message the scanner isn't available.  
The scanner contiues running in this case--it notices nothing.

I've also tested the PC serial port by attaching to a modem.  I can talk 
to the modem OK.  A gross inspection of the board doens't show any 
problems.  I'm down to a bad serial cable or a bad internal cable, as 
far as thing I can troubleshoot.

Does anyone have any other ideas of things I can look at?
