Sold the Fadal got a new VF-2

TIMAN, no scam as far as I know, the USB is not standard, only comes on the machine if you buy it for 400 bucks.

C package because the side mount changer would not fit under my garage door (by a long shot).

Not necessarily true. If you have a communication software like multi-dnc and you're running a huge program where direct feed is a must, you can restart anywhere in the program without your controller scanning the whole thing.

The USB is definitely standard on all VF series VMC's.

They'll tell you the floppy option for $400 is now USB (as they told me, without telling me USB comes standard), but it's absolutely listed as a standard option on the Haas site.
