If it's a Max2 control, you can't use the floppy for NC program transfer (only conversational). Loading files will be by the serial port (round Mil-spec connector on the cabinet) and will need to have a cable wired from your PC to the mill as follows:
Mill pin A to PC pin 1
Mill pin B to PC pin 2
Mill pin C to PC pin 3
Mill pin D to PC pin 4
Mill pin E to PC pin 5
Mill pin F to cable shield (connect one end only).

These are for a 25pin connector on the PC.
Set the com ports on both the machine and the PC to:
7 data bits
1 stop bit
Even parity
19200 Baud rate

The program to be sent must begin with a % character and end with an E
