Dear Colleagues,

For a couple of years I have been using WIN-NMR vs 9600901 to process data
from an Aspect 3000 using NMRLINK vs 92.02.01 & Getfile vs 930405.01 to
import the FIDs to a 486-based PC. Recently I purchased a pentium-based PC
and loaded all these programs on it - I did remember to transfer the NMRLINK
card as well! On attempting to "get" an FID from the Aspect 3000 I promptly
got the error message "Return Code Error" and of course there was no
transfer of data at all. Enquiry at Bruker elicited the following
information/advice:
The NMRLink card used hitherto is too slow for the pentium bus speed and that
a new NMRLINK card should be purchased - $ 500 ! Any help in this regard
would be greatly appreciated. I simply cannot scrape together this money at
the present jucture.
