I am working on a Sodick A350 (1991) wire EDM, it was bought at auction for making motor laminations. It is my job (part time) to get the thing running, so far so good except for a small glitch.
The computer running the machine is a PC9801 UV, an NEC non-PC apparently popular in Japan. Good news is it works, bad news is some idiot adjusted the DIP switches on the front just below the floppy drives and now I can only get it to boot by going through a strange ritual of dip switch flipping and rebooting, this was found by accident but is clearly not correct. There are three sets of DIP switches, 10 in each set, I am sure they are motherboard possibly bios settings. Does anyone use one of these machines and know the settings?
I have contacted Sodick and no reply
Thanks
Graham
