I was adjusting the scale and seemed to be converging on a value close to this. I determined this is the probable number after we removed the drive. The upper arm motion is noisy and not smooth. I will wait until I have the new drive that has the finer microstepping. I found an exact compumotor drive on ebay. With the ebay drive and the new drive I will have a full complement of drives - finally. thanks Stuart -- dos centavos ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What happens now with your Lotus Notes apps - do you make another costly upgrade, or settle for being marooned without product support?
