[chiplotle-discuss] issues with my Houston Instrument DMP 162R

[douglas repetto]

That means that your USB<->serial converter is not using a consistent 
name for the device that shows up on the serial port. If you do:

ls /dev/tty.*

what do you see? Make sure it's actually

/dev/tty.PL2303-000013FA

each time you plug in the plotter. The 'PL2303-000013FA' part may be 
changing every time. That's why the Keyspan adapters provide an alias 
called "KeySerial1" so that you don't have to worry about the name 
changing...
