CNC Lathe Software Problem

[HenningWalker]

I recently acquired a Conect 121 Lathe which I was using with a BBC B up until a couple of days ago, and now the computer won't load any sofware! I have tried putting in some ROM chips which came with the system and getting those to run the program but I have had no success... So I decided that I would like to start with a more reliable system that runs MS-DOS instead of the BBC. The only thing is I need the correct software on a disk which will allow me to run the machine off a design and also manually. (and a way to connect the computer to the control unit).

If anybody knows where I could find such software, how to make this connection or even what to do to the BBC, then I would be most grateful.

Henning.

It would appear that this is not easy to do then... Could anybody tell me where I can get a 5.25" floppy disk with this program on for BBC instead!

You might get some replies if you post your questions if you post them in the correct forum like the General CNC (Mill and Lathe) Control Software, or one of the others under that forum heading. Posting in a General CAD forum isn't likely to get you much help for this kind of a problem.

AFAIK, this IS the General CNC (Mill and Lathe) Control Software (NC) forum, NOT "a General CAD forum"... what am I missing?

It was moved from the CAD forum to here.

Ah. Thanks. Thought I was losing it.
