A: The cable pinout for the NovaSource M2 can be downloaded here. • Q: The NSCP software for NovaSource M2 did not load properly on my Windows NT/2000/XP computer. What do I do? A: Follow these instructions: • Contact Support for the Win2K files. • Open Windows Explorer and go to: “C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS” and check to see if “GENPORT.SYS” is installed.
