    Not the easiest way to do it, but probably the least expensive way to get over 100mb to run on your machine.
    That's really cool, I didn't think it would be able to do that. Definitely something to try out. At this point I have more time than money.

    Now I'm wondering, how does it handle mid program restarts?

    Thank you to the knowledge of the hive-mind.

    If you interrupt the running program by reset, it will want to start running the active program over from the beginning. It would be possible to restart within the program the same as any other program.

    Pm probably full again. The zone stinks as far as pm storage goes.

    Best regards,

    And you are the locksmith?

    Experience is what you get just after you needed it.

    why are there so many Okuma users in Antarctica? Did you move the machines in on Dog Sled?

    How many Dogs does it take to drag a MX45VAe?

    hy general, stay in school, eat actual food, get a job, a house, she has 2-3 kids, and one lives long after retirement

    dogs are running in the snow, after a big mx45vae

    it's a metaphor for freeland / kindly

    we are merely at the start of " Internet of Things / Industrial Revolution 4.0 " era : a mix of AI, plastics, human estrangement, powerful non-state actors ...

    If a guy adds another memory card into the machine what happens? I can think of 3 possibilities. A) nothing, nothing will happen unless software is updated. B) the memory becomes available to MD0:, without a software change. C)the memory shows up in MD1:, without a software change.

    How is the software changed? Is it a parameter in the machine? or a parameter in the software that loads on bootup?Memory Upgrade Options-img_1407-17-01-19-04-52-jpg

    I guess its a trade secret Okuma is keeping under wraps.

    Dave
    I have tested this way with a 16mb CMOS . It works with large Sram and Dram but not a larger flash drive . My originaly was 8mb and i pun 16mb . It was foramting the memory , i made a extended install , a MD instal , then on the FR instal it was giving a a 152 error

    Change the memory board or flash memory card causing the error. * Correct the control software (in the case of task running). From the image i have seen it checks a file from size . I dont know if we can open a system disk and write the size of the new cmos. Dont know how to open the disks.

    OK Guys I finally got back to this project. Lots of other stuff was in the way.

    I thought of a couple more questions...

    Does the floppy disk need to be OSP formatted for this scheduling to work or is DOS ok?

    Could the scheduling be configured to work over the rs-232 PIP connection? Seems I came across a DNC software somewhere that said it could break the code down into sections automatically and was trying to figure out how that would work.

    Thanks again for all of your advice guys,

    Just a quick update to this... I am currently at the belief that having a schedule program point to the floppy is not possible. Pleas see my other post at https://www.cnczone.com/forums/okuma...ons-solve.html for more information. IF someone has been successful at getting this to work I definately want to know how or what you did to get it to work.

    May I have a detailed program example? Please write for me to look at one program.
    1. The main program loaded into the machine MD1:
    2. The 2nd program that the device uses in the floppy disk FD0:
    3. The 3rd program that the device calls used in the floppy disk. FD0:
    4. The 4th program that the machine uses in the floppy disk FD0:
    Ask for an example of a drilling program.
    thank you
