Hi all,
We have 5 Hitachi wire EDMs, and due to them not being in a dust free environment have to replace the floppy disk drives occasionally, we use these to download the programs to, however my boss said that we are being charged £400 a time for a replacement. This is a "rip off" as a conventional FD drive costs about 10 to 15 pounds. I know the Hitachi machine uses an OS different to most makes of machines but surely it can't be that different that we cannot use a "Normal" FD drive as a replacement. Any help or suggestions appreciated.
Mark...
