Works 1.x: Cannot Plot from AT&T 6300 Serial Port

1.00 1.05

MS-DOS

Summary:

It has been reported that when plotting from Works Versions 1.00 and 1.05 while running on an AT&T 6300 or AT&T 6300 Plus, the “Invalid port settings” error message occurs. From this point on, the “Cannot access port” error message occurs and the port can be reenabled only by rebooting.

This problem has not been reported in Works 2.00. In Works 1.x, if output is directed to a parallel port (using the Select Chart Printer command), which has been redirected to the serial port (using the DOS MODE command, MODE LPT1:=COM1:), the problem is avoided.
