slice&dice 2,450 Posted November 23, 2020 OK, it finally happened, my old Dell laptop has a problem with the video card, and the screen blitzed out. Found a nice Toshiba TECRA M5 for about $60 on eBay and I'm back in business! (The M5 has a legacy DB9 serial port, making it a good choice for connecting to cutter). 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted November 23, 2020 Nice, hp makes some laptops with the old serial ports, the state of Michigan bought the a few years ago do they could still use the older ekg machines etc. nothing wrong with the toshiba, just be kind to the power plug, had several and that was the only weak link. Great for us older people but kids are hard on them. Congrats sir Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
