Actually all may not necessarily be lost, as he is referring to the PLC/PMC or machine control, some early Fanuc/General Numeric models did not supply a PMC/PLC with the control, it was up to the MTB to supply and program.
All you really need is the CNC I/O lines which are dedicated to a certain function, These may still be obtainable, and then all that is needed is to hook any up any make of PLC and program the necessary logic, anyone that is familiar with the PMC side or machine control side, and can program a PLC, should be able to accomplish this fairly easily.
Now of course Fanuc provide a PMC, but it is blank, and the OEM is still responsible for the programming it.
