Jim: There are several things to check. If memory serves me, for starters, the software needs to be set to match the DCU DIP switches settings (DCU ID #). Also, the serial cable wiring needs to be correct. When trying to connect to a CPU, the computer's port needs to be setup. Finally, the CPU model, memory type and baud rate etc... needs to be correct.

I am havings some similar problems right now. We have one working Toshiba portable with ver 1.04 Logicmaster that works but intermittently drops off line. We have several laptops/portables that have ver 1.05 Logicmaster that I'm trying to get communicating also. Two of them give me a #5 unknown comm status error and one has the intermittent dropping off line problem. Have tried different cables, different DCU's, cleaned out all but the essentials in the config and autoexec files but nothings helped. Automationdirect.com and GE Fanucs web sites have lots of FAQ's but nothing has helped so far but you may find something that will help your problem.

As far as making copies of the Logicmaster...I believe you may have to use the "duplicate master" funtion on the original disk. If you have it installed on a PC you can "laplink" it to another. There is a couple of hidden files on the master diskette that you may have to change the attribute on.
