I dont have an H19, but I have the same problem with my HP2621B. The cursor on the 2621B blinks too fast. It is distracting. It is less distracting as a blinking underline than as a blinking blot, but they both blink too fast. Is there any way to slow it down? Perhaps a capacitor I can replace? I understand that there are undocumented ways of downloading programs for the microprocessor in the HP2621. Does that extend to changing paramaters in the firmware? If so, is there a number somewhere that can be poked to slow down the blinking cursor? While Im at it, do other people have the problem I have that when my 2621B is in 'LOG BTM' mode (everything that scrolls off the bottom line gets sent to the printer) at 1200 baud, it ignores the keyboard until the printing pauses? Have you found a fix? The 2621A didnt have this problem. Thanks in advance -- If enough interest is shown I will post a summary of any answers I get. Rick Thomas ihnp4!abnji!rbt or ihnp4!abnjh!usenet
