FLOPPY DRIVE EMULATOR
excellent! I have a few spare paypal bucks lying around so I just bought one. I'll report back when I test it (I have OSP7000)
I've seen the generic versions of these. Just never saw one from Okuma or heard of anyone installing a generic version into there Okuma successfully.
its basically the same thing but being Okuma branded is has $2000 added to the price. probably no other differences
Any success with the emulator?
We have an osp7000 that the floppy drive just stopped working. Okuma wants almost as much to replace 3.5 drive as they do to upgrade to usb drive. We have 4 Okuma mills and 2 Okuma lathes. That can get really pricey!
Our MA400H recently had its flood damaged floppy replaced with the Okuma USB floppy emulator.
It works fine.
The system is set up to emulate 100 floppy drives.
The supplied USB memory was a Buffalo branded unit (they recommend only a handful of compatible makers) and is not a particularly satisfying thing to use.
It is actually a microSD card USB adaptor.
The fit is so tight into all the ports I've tried it in, that when you use the cord to remove it, the plastic housing comes off.
It is so small that you can't grip it with your fingers, so the cord is necessary!
Then while trying to pick it out with fingernails the SD card flies out.
After finding some needle nose pliers, I did get it out, and had to do the same thing again each time I needed to remove it.
yes I got it and it works fine.Any success with the emulator?
i tried it and it works Hi
Just tested product floppy to usb converter from www.floppytousb.net for okuma lathe machine and it works great @ USD$ 65 only
Thanks
