I have an ACER 3-axis CNC mill with Anilam 3300MK controls. I have a program (129KB) that is nearly 4,000 lines (blocks) of code that I need to copy from a floppy to the machine. When I try to copy it the machine copies 1,903 blocks of code then throws the following error: "error, program not copied". I can edit the program from the machine adding additions lines making the program longer than 1,903 blocks without issue. I can take the same program, break it up into 3 separate programs and it will transfer from the floppy to the machine just fine, but I cannot combine the three together once they are transferred to the machines C drive.
