In another thread i stated I had issues with my Torq-cut 22 after it sat a month
when i started and it back up the z axis would drop when I enabled the drives.
It would then kick out with an error.
This all started when I started it up and the machine said there was no op system.
After a couple trys it booted up to where the problem started with enabling the drives.
Now I get as far as the executive load and then to the c propmt.
The bmdc wont load.
I have always got a quick message at the ds32 screen after boot up about a dos/bxt/font load error,
it used to be so fast I could not see what it was saying
now it hangs there and tells be dos/bxt/font
loaded to block 0
loading operating interface
than to the c:>

I searched old forums on here and found a post George had made:

You should switch to dos using ALT and TAB then run RUN.BAT which should load the machine software
under DOS and not windows. This loads the correct fonts that the machine software needs.
Now i am wondering if this could be part of my problem.

At the c:>I can run btc.exe and get this back
