    the drive was probably built more than 35 years ago. you will be lucky to find anything about it now.
    pull the drive out of the frame and look for the REAL manufacturer (not Okuma)
    and the model number. then report back here with that info.

    Thank you.
    That machine only came with 8" system disks & drive.....also had a reel-to-reel tape reader

    Trying to change to a 3-1/2" drive and all your machine disks are then useless, & you will never be able to resurrect your machine to working condition if a problem occurs....... on a machine of that vintage, it could be tomorrow

    Get the RS-232 working, as PIP is standard ( better if you had the DNC option ) for the loading of programs
    -
    and ..... say goodbye to using floppies ( floppies in the workshop don't last very long, & they also are becoming rarer )
