Hello all my name is ray and I am new to this site as well as the cnc world. Years ago I purchased a Harrison alpha 550 plus lathe from my place of work when they shut our plant down. The alpha control, which is a fanuc based control was erased by a disgruntled employee. I am looking for help in getting the programming back into the machine. I managed to get the files emailed to me bu a sister plant but there is one file that won't take. Four of the five files loaded with no problem through the pcmcia slot on the console. there is also a com port in the back of the machine but I am not sure how to connect to that. Any help would be greatly appreciate this is way to nice of a machine to be sitting idle so it is time to invest some time and money into it. Thanks
