Hi all,
I wrote the controls software (Indexer LPT) for the Compuquilter which operates its hardware at the lowest level. Stan Townzen wrote the application software which interacts with Indexer LPT. I have been able to provisionally provide support as a consultant for Compuquilters since Stan's passing , and I have been successful in running (though not exhaustively testing, since I do not own a Compuquilter machine) Stan's software under a Windows look-alike system that I had written under Linux. Linux is the OS which I had chosen since the entire system can be backed up and restored in a manner that is not dependent on operating system licensing, and thus more suitable for maintaining software dependent, expensive equipment.
Most of the details relating to Compuquilter electronics can be found on the Ability Systems web site at www.abilitysystems.com through online instructional videos and the Indexer LPT manual, which can be downloaded for free. I can be reached via Email at motion@abilitysystems.com
Sincerely,
Arthur Volta
