I have a lathe with a fanuc Oi-TC controller, machine was purchased used and originally communicated with rs232

i have purchased a pcmcia to cf card adapter, cf card 128mb transend industrial CF220i

the controller can see the files on the card

i have been able to delete files on the card from the controller

i have formatted the card using the controller

i/o para is set to 4 (memory card)

process i am trying with no great success is below

>system>all i/o>card>oprt>Nread>fset(O1997.txt)>Oset (1997)>EXEC

i get a breif flash of lsk and input but no other msgs and the file isn't in my controller directory, getting stuck and playing around i also tried Fread

machine is in edit mode, key is in edit position (tried both positions)

Any suggestions here would be much appreciated
