I got a Standard Bridgeport Boss 4 or 5 from a guy that passed away. The machine works pretty well for what it is. It has both the tape reader and the RS232 Option. I can run it using the tape reader with paper tapes that came with it. However it was being used with the programs being loaded to it using a Black Box and the program terminal which is what I want to do. So I bought that same computer. It has many working programs, and the complete set up that was being used on the machine when it was being used on a daily basis.So here is my question: I had my CNC repairman reconnect the computer to the machine but I'm not sure how to send programs to it meaning how do you put it in receiving mode? I have 9 cnc's and all I do is put them in edit mode then punch read and send from my PC to load the program. Does anybody have any ideas as to what I can do?
thanks,
Charlie
