We still use our reliable ol' Gerber 4B for cutting out sandblast resist. We tried to use it today and got this error message: waiting for CTS.
I've reinstalled the drivers, the software (SignLab), plugged-and-unplugged all of the connections and tried it on another computer.
The 4B still works as a stand-alone system so I think my Fastboard got fried.
Has this happened to anyone here and does anyone have a fastboard for sale?
Thanks...

Pat, Did you see this posted by Mike McCloud in the classifieds:
posted July 19, 2002 01:50 PM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gerber Signmaker 4-B with an LMK link to run it from Gerber Graphics Advantage or Omega software. Has a bunch of fonts so it can run as a standalone composer/plotter. Excellant condition w/original shipping boxs also in excellant condition. Also have another 4/B with lots of fonts and a Cadlink Fastboard to run it from Signlab software. Either one, $1000. A great value and real workhorses.

Thanks Judy! - I spoke with Mike...
Lucky me (?) - CadLink actually will replace the board for $ 150.00 once I send in mine.
Not too bad.

CTS error is related to the serial communication.
Have you check the cable ? The communication setup of the computer ?
