HP-1537A? I think that is the same changer I have. It has 2 DIP switches that control two things: - what state compression begins in when power is first applied - whether this state is changeable by software control IIRC, those particular switches are internal (requiring case removal). hp.doc, support, doc/manuals is a good site for online documentation. -- Jon H.
