    Need parameters hardinge quest 6/42 build in 2003

    Hello all
    Just bought myself a hardinge quest 6/42 from a auction in Germany.
    It is a ex us army Lathe with only 51 hours on the counter.
    How this thing gets here in Europe I don't have a clue.
    But now it's mine.
    The backup battery is dead so I got a sram error.
    And I only have a manual not a backup.
    Can anyone here provide me with some parameters that might get the machine back working again.
    Thanks in advance.

    Kind regards from Holland

    The control is a 21it and does not have a HDD.
    So i'm hoping on some parameters from you guys
    There also might be a problem with the card reader because it won't read the card.
    I have a original Fanuc Compact flash card 128MB.
    I use this in my Hardinge GS250MSY with fanuc 18i control and there it works.
    The machine is 5 years younger so there might be the problem.
    So now i'm also figuring out if the control is the problem or the card.
    I was looking at a post from someone on the internet the early fanuc 21it have problems with reading large Compact flash cards.
    They advice a maximum 16mb Sram compact flash.
    So there is some work more to do, then only get me the parameters.

    I would have thought it was the card reader I'll check my system and private message you

    Nobody? The machine is build in the USA so this is the right place right!
