Hello everyone,

I have an upgrade issue regarding two CNC machines - a 1995 Johnford TC-35 lathe with a Fanuc O-T CNC controller, and a 1987 Amada 30-50-72 turret press with a Fanuc 6M CNC controller. They currently get their instructions from two different Windows XP computers, each connected to its respective via a RS-232 cable and a parallel port, using Procomm Plus. Since Windows XP is no longer supported, I want to replace the existing computers with newer ones, preferably with Windows 10. Has anyone tried connecting a Windows 10 computer to one of these machines before? Is it even possible, and if not, can either of these machines be retrofitted to accept a floppy drive or a USB port? I'm not a machinist, I'm an IT guy, so forgive me if the terminology is incorrect.

Thanks in advance,
Michael
