Hello,

It appears the memory module has failed.

I have plugged it into a laptop and booted off the floppy disk and that is also unable to read the dongle so I think that rules out parallel port failure on the machine.

Is there any way to program the memory module?

I guess we do not know if the module has failed or the contents got corrupted and could be re-programmed.

But then what program can talk to it and program and where would we get the data from to program to it?

Is there a way to hack/crack the software to bypass it?

Hurco want a £1000 to program the key to the hard drive!!

Many thanks.
