Hi,
Just wanted to do a bit of a poll and see how many of these machines are knocking around.
Can I have a show of hands please of everybody that has one of these.
Once I know who has them I will know more specifically who to target my questions at :)
hi all i have the connect lathe and mill but no software for the lathe
does any one know were i could get a copy of it many thanks davy
Is this lathe sold by Little Machines?
Mike
hi mic
i dont think so it was made in the 90s by connect for schools
Then you and/or the OP might want to try a different forum for your questions since this one is intended for machines sold by the Little Machine Shop company.Quote:

We have one in our school here in newry, N.I. It has been gathering dust since the 90`s and i was told i need a old 386 computer to run the software.
Hi,did you ever get your lathe to run, I bought a lathe without software and was able to get it to run on an old windows 98 computer, i do have problems with offsets as the software i downloaded from a forum has left the conectl offset programme a read only programme.I was wondering if you could upload a copy of your software for me.
regards Roy.
Hi Roy,
A bit late but it might help.
The original DOS software runs very well using DOSBox X on a modern PC (mine is windows 10)
I have used all the versions of DOSBox but I prefer X as its easier to set up.
You can make DOS files read and write using the "attrib" command in dos or at the command prompt.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Keith
