I think the point is that you can use this instead of having to ask Okuma for the official program, or in some cases waiting forever and receiving nothing.

I'm curious though, why this is even necessary. I've run an Okuma for several years (OSP7000) and I always use DOS Mode input and output to FD0:
I can't see any reason to trust my precious programs to a non-standard format that I have no way to access except on an Okuma machine. Using DOS Mode I can create/edit it any time on any computer and load it into the machine easily and I don't need anything special. I can also copy it to USB drives, external HDDs, other floppies or whatever so I have safe copies at multiple locations, all accessible using any common PC.

file name can be 18 characters long on Okuma floppy format. Okuma floppy format is much faster on Okuma OSP :-)
Can't tell exactly, some OSP files could be recorded only on Okuma format floppy. Maybe IGF, can't tell exactly now

Your missing the obvious - Earlier controls prior to the OSP7000 did not have an MS-DOS option - the only format the floppy worked in was the OSP format.

True you could use the RS-232 at 2400 baud.... and all that good fun.

On the OSP5000 and OSP5020 if you even had a floppy it was OSP only.

....a 5.1/4 drive at that

& if you really were the lucky one....a paper tape reader

[fordav11]

ah! ok I did not know about not having DOS mode on the earlier controls. I'm glad I don't have a 5000-series control ;-)
p.s. good luck trying to recover your valuable programs when your custom-format floppy dies ;-)

V1.92 released

[fordav11]

I tried 1.91 a couple of days ago. I formatted a floppy and at the end (100%) it gave an error...
"There was an error. The program will be shut down"

After that when running the program it gives the same error immediately when loaded and refuses to run until I reboot.

any idea what the problem is?

any idea what the problem is?

operating system must be xp,
floppy drive letter must be 'A:'
floppy must be 1.44MB MFD-2HD

Does the computer of all these conditions?
