Priority!! - If your hard drives are failing save any important jobs you have on this to floppy disc.
Hard drive VX controller can be deconverted back to floppy only with just a set of PROMS, but obviously this makes your machine slower to program.
A few alternatives:
Gravograph do interface boxes - expensive!
We do a conversion unit - see website
www.microwhite.co.uk
You can get software to convert an old PC into an interface box - please contact me direct if you wish for more details
All of the above work off a variety of design software i.e Engravelab, Gravostyle, Vectric, VCarve, Newing-Hall JLS
