    Re: Multi Format card Reader HELP!!

    Not sure about the Centurion 7 control, but my feeling is that you still won't be able to download anything larger than 1.44MB. There is still hope however as "Sportybob" has written a program to...

    Many years ago I worked at a place where all the Bridgeport mills were lined up in a row close to each other. Chips would fly from one onto another, mostly from bouncing off the center column. I...

    Re: Setting work offsets

    It may be because your machine doesn't have a tool changer? I'm surprised they didn't tell you why.
  7. Re: Machine will not automatically boot, can't get floppy to read

    The machine we did it on was a VM24 that was built in 1999. It used an Imation super disk 120 MB drive to load programs. The drive was great but were notorious for going bad after a couple of years...
  8. Re: Machine will not automatically boot, can't get floppy to read

    Yes it's an emulator. You'll have to download a software that re-formats USB thumb drives to 1.44 MB to use it. sportybob should be able to help you with that. Milltronics did my SBC upgrade years...
  9. Re: Machine will not automatically boot, can't get floppy to read

    Only time I tried to use the RS232 com port it was painfully slow. With RS232, speed was measured in K's per minute not MB per seconds like today standards. Try that when cutting 3D, sucks big...

    Re: Surfcam V3.0 on Windows 10

    Not sure about V3.0 but try it on a old win 10 machine first, they are cheap and plentiful now. My guess it will work fine. I too gave up on maintenance and I've been running Surfcam V6 from around...

    Re: Greasing ways and ball screws

    Like most of Milltronics machines from that era, simple logic seemed to have escaped the designers back then. What were they thinking? My guess is they were not doing much of it. I hated my Partner...

    I'm still using Surfcam 6 from 2012. I did use a older 3D Space mouse called the Space Explorer with Surfcam and it worked but couldn't find an advantage to using it over a good mouse. I decided to...

    I should add that this is on an updated SBC Centurion 6 controller in a 1999 VM24 machine. The reason I'm using a floppy drive is that the latest Win 10 updates has totally shut down the Ethernet...
