QTR-Quadtone RIP

Thanks Jamie and Tom!

Jamie I sent you an email to forward the PDF.

I've done some research into connecting the old DTP-22/32 densitometers from serial to 
USB. Seems like the Mac only adapter from Keyspan USA-28x and the cross-platform
USA19QW or USA19HS models work well as mentioned in the email below.

Here's a few copy and paste from my notes:

There are several possibilities, but first we need to be clear about what
instrument you really have. A DTP22 is a chassis, that several instruments
are built upon: Digital Swatchbook, CA22, GA22 and a host of specialized OEM
and medical instruments. By your description you most likely have a Digital
Swatchbook instrument, and thus in ToolCrib you need to select the Digital
Swatchbook as the instrument not a "DTP22." Before you do this, I'd
recommend unplugging the instrument from power and reconnecting, this will
perform a soft reset which will aid in communications.

Note that not all Keyspan adapters are alike. Under OSX we have found the
older Keyspan USA 28 (beige) adapter typically do not work well. We have
also found that "PDA adapters" do not work consistently either. We have had
continued success with the Mac only Keyspan USA-28x and the cross-platform
USA19QW or USA19HS models.
