Subject: Novag Star Diamond

Here is a message I sent to sales@novag.com.  I haven't heard from them yet, and
figured I'd try this forum.

I just obtained a Star Diamond and really like it so far.  I was wondering if
there is somewhere I could obtain more detailed information about the PC
interface.  I have tried to access your pdf file explaining the "Star Diamond to
PC interface," and keep getting an error.  I can read the HTML version, and that
helps, but it seems like some things should be explained a little more.  Here
are some questions I have:

How do I set up hyperterminal for use with the interface?  I assume I just need
to figure out which com port the serial port is using?

Does the SD has to be powered off when connecting to the PC?

Assuming the pro-op save command sends programmable opening books to the PC, how
would one reload them into the SD?

Also, I noticed that there are some technical specification disagreements
between the description on your website and the owner's manual (processor,
program size, book size, etc.)

I'd appreciate it if you could either answer these questions or point me to the
answers somewhere.  Thank you very much.

Darryl
