Re: XL-I problems

Hi,
a word of caution for Beckman software and Windows95:

running XL-A 3.0 under Widows95 might run you into problems, too. In 
my experience in the beginning of a run everything looks fine but 
there are situations when the centrifuge will not communicate 
correctly with the software resulting in a COM devive error and the 
programm  will quit doing  any further scans. This usually happens with 
overnight runs 5 Minutes after I leave the lab. We were told by our
Beckman technician that the sofware definitely will not run under 
Windows95 and thus had to resort to using DOS and Win3.11 for proper 
operation.

Since we would really like to operate our XL-A under Windows95 I 
would appreciate any comments of other RASMBers

Best wishes
