    Any suggestions on a good type of no clean flux to be used for reworks? Currently been using Qualitek 302, but it still ends up leaving lots of solder bridges when changing pin thru parts on solder fountain. Advantage is, its not sticky. The other type I have is GC Electronics, VERY good...

    Gould 884 and Gray Soft

    I'm trying to get a Gould 884 Modicon PLC to talk a PC via Gray-Soft (version 2.02). I got a serial cable and all should be well and good, but still says cannot connect. All this stuff is ancient, 1990 at least. I seem to remember back around that time I used to have to use a...
