The company that builds the machines
does have other options like eathernet cards
but that requires a new prosessor board.
big bucks.
its not worth the investment on a 7+ year old
machine.

The more I think about it I dont know if the rs232 will work. With CNC machines rs232 connections talk to the computer especially when they are drip feeding G codes to the machine.

Convert a Floppy drive to a flash drive
Hi all,
I work in a tool and die shop,
We have cnc machines that use a floppy disk to
load programs into the machines.
I was wondering if there was a way to convert a floppy
drive to a usb port so instead of using floppys we could
use a flash card
Thanks,
Moldmaker
