Must be doing something right.  I downloaded the dm2 eeprom, the deflection
eeprom, and BOTH CONVERGENCE eeproms!!!!

Did a simple convergence adjustment, change channels and so forth!!!

Meanwhile, back at the ranch:
The TECI1 kit comes with three cables that are not identified.  Thanks.  Two
of the cables resemble the convergence cable for the ptk195s.  One of those
has a three pin socket on each end, the other, a three pin socket on the end
that attaches to the "adapter board" and the other end THIS IS IMPORTANT is
a smaller four pin plug.

The location of the test jack on the convergence board:  Top corner closest
to you, easily accessable.

When the CC software refers a "three pin connector" it is refering to the
cable with the FOUR PIN plug.
When the CC software refers to the switch  on the board being "away from
chassis" (the thing is on the end of a wire, which way is "away"?) they mean
the position of the switch which is closest to the edge of the board.
Thanks for marking the board with a "1" and a "2" or some such.

After figuring out the connections it isn't a big deal, if you are used to
CC.
Tomorrow I get to change the DM2.  The convergence board is backordered thru
mid Dec.

By the way, latest CC is 1.81, available here:
