My friend just bought that machine..If we want lo load a program from a PC using the RS232 port i understand i must use hyperterminal from windows..
Can anyone tell me how to make the cable to connect the pc to the round serial connector in front of the machine..Once we are connected what is the step by step procedure to get the machine to accept the download..Any help aprreciated..Thanks Andre.

go to ebay and search "bridgeport rs232" everything you need is there. i ran a shop with 10 of those machine using that kit and works perfectly
