You may call a few used machine people. They may have them or know of a company that is going under and looking to get rid of them. Also try E-Bay.

Could there be a vibration on or jamming of the conveyor of your oven that is causing these parts to tip-over?

Are there long lags between print and place, and place and reflow? Could your paste be losing some of it's tack?

Easy fix is put a drop of washable mask on the side of part before reflow. The mask dries before the solder reflows and holds the part in place. After reflow it washes away.

I'm not really "into" any versions of Windows before XP. I just tried it out on XP and everything loads up fine. I haven't communicated to any machines with it yet, but the settings for the COM ports should be the same on any version of Windows.

Is the component databases "binary text" the "universal" type of binary? Or is it some different kind of binary? I'm gonna try to load up one of the files later on, character by character, and see if I can make any sense out of it.

Actually, if I can't figure out these .DB% and .EN% files soon, I'm gonna start ripping apart UCT to see what I can find. There is no good reason for them to make something like that non-accessible.

Does anyone think that the errors could be caused by not having any files in the LIB folder in the C:\ directory? I don't have a Component Library Disk.
