"I" drive not available - 9067
Dear All,
As much as I love my Cincinnati Arrow 750, it's driving me nuts!
I program everything (and I mean everything) offline with my CAM software and have done so for at least the last 6 years.
I'm getting an error when calling up drive "I" (RS232A - Background edit - drive select - option 4). I use CNC_COM to sort out the transfer etc. It started just last week when the system stopped mid program and the control then showed the error. I changed the PC I use as the slave machine and the first time I turned it on to try it, it worked. I then restructured my file system to how I like it and then it failed again. Pig sick of the whole situation, I turned the machine off for the weekend. The following week I reinstalled the original slave PC because it had other stuff on it I use and everything worked again. It worked fine until this morning, same problem.
I checked the cable connections (again) wiggled this and that but no go. I'm fairly sure the PC is OK and the cable that connects it to the machine. So I have concluded it must be a fault within the main cabinet (der) but which bit?
Any ideas or comments on tests etc would be most welcome.
Please don't say "program it manually" as I machine a lot of 3D forms many thousands of lines long. (and I have forgotten how to).
Thanks,
RHK

Install a network card in the machine.

Hi, Thanks for your response. I shall look into it. It started working again this morning but its doing some strange things in the file management that I haven't seen it do before.

I did a network install on my 750 today, and it's excellent!
I chose a 3Com Etherlink III ISA card, since I could find the driver for that specific card in the NT4 network adapter list.
Configured it with IRQ 11 and fixed IP crosswired to a laptop running Win7.
I'll be happy to do a detailed how-to write-up if necessary.
Cheers.

Hi Larspeed, I am constantly amazed at the clever people like you who can do these things! My particular problem solved its self somehow. I went through all that I could to no avail but it started working again a few days after I'd given up so I could earn some money on my other CNC.
I would be interested how you done as I haven't a clue.
Thanks,
RHK.

I will also add that you DO NOT need to have the networking option purchased to do this, and there is also a way to run large programs if you do not have the maximum storage option purchased as well.
