This is for information purposes.
There is a guy on ebay selling RS232 9-pin connections for the Bport
Series 1 BOSS 4 to 6 (maybe 8)for $75. There are three wires that
need to be spliced into one of the connections.
It is easy to hook up and you can connect the PC directly to the
machine. Send the Gcode over the connection.
A lot easier than fiddle-farting with the panel.
He normally posts under the name 'jcmblasko'. Just do a search for
his name on ebay. If he does not have one selling at the moment you
can send him an email directly through ebay.
I called him over the phone and order one. He manufactures them
himself. There is plenty of cord, directions, and a communication
software he includes with the package.
This is a link to one of the sales showing what it is:

ViewItem&category=25293&item=1766573437
I do not know or get profit from the sale of these. I just spent the
$75 to make my life a little easier.
Hope this helps someone
