Hello,
We have a bridgeport explorer 1 cbc (1997) and there is a problem with the floppy drive. It intermittently wont read a disk. Is there anyway to hook it up to a computer via ethernet cord and simply drop a gcode program into a directory? If so howwould I go about it?
Anyhelp would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve

1) Floppy drives are cheap. You can replace that.
2) Machine has RS232. You can load a program that way.
3) Install Windows 3.11 for workgroups and a ethernet card and load a program that way.
