| VF-2 Questions We recently picked up a old '92 VF2 for our shop. We only had the VF-7, but as we got more work, and "smaller" work, we decided to get something a little smaller. The VF-2 was in great condition, and recently had a new spindle put on. I have 2 questions regarding it: 1) How to increase the amount of memory. 2) Who sells LONG cables to attach our computer to the machine? Thanks in advance! (quick background, this is my dad's shop, and I have been working here for a little while, so I don't know a FULL amount, but i'm slowly learning.)

| Contact HAAS for memory upgrades. You may be able to get 'off-brand' expansion cards for considerably cheaper, but I don't know about those. You can make your own cables. Just buy some RS232 cabling and attatch the 9 and/or 25 pin connectors. The manual has the wiring diagram. Keep in mind, the longer the cable to the machine, the more chance for trasmit errors and interfearance. A slowdown in trasnfer rate will help, as will properly shielded cables. How are you trasnferring files to the VF7? 'Rekd

Sounds good, I'll fire them off a email.
Do you know where I can buy some cable? We bought some from radio shack, but it isin't long enough to properly hide away, and keep out of foot traffic.
Gotcha. The cable we have now is sheilded and works good, we need just about another 10-15' longer.

| Gujustud, try going to my sister company site. Here is a link to the info you are looking for. www.shopfloorautomations.com/networking.htm scroll to the bottom of the page for cableing. You can call the office tell the Jay Kramer from CNCzone sent you and they can mail right to you. Hope it goes well.
