Right a little bit of progress... with playing around with the USB settings... I now have SB saying that it is cutting with no errors... unfortunately the cutter is doing nothing... So it seems like it sees the cable (usb to Serial) but doesnt actually send anything to the cutter... <confused> Dave

Ash, I have just sent you an email. Thanks Dave

Hi all... Just bought a ROHS MT871.. the seller provided a few demos of it working with Artcut... Got it home and plugged in etc and found of course no serial ports so found up a serial to USB and have installed the prolific drivers for it... Have subsequently downloaded signblaster as digging round on this forum it seemed to have a better writeup than artcut... Now I have set it to a Roland PNC 1000 through Com4 as that was what it said it was when I installed the driver... Now when I go to cut something it takes a few seconds and then comes up with the error "Cannot open output device. Error initialising Driver" Now I'm trying to run everything on Win 7 Im wondering if that is at the route of the problems or if anyone else has any ideas... I know its more than likely something simple (hopefully)... Any help much appreciated.. Cheers Dave
