    RS232 communication service

    I need a recommendation of a product or service that can handle my machine tool part program storage needs. I would like to store my part programs from older CNC (paper tabe readers) on my laptop through a RS232 connect.. Some machines have a 3.5 capabillity. I am looking for a 1 stop shop of a company that offers conversion cards and SUPPORT after you purchase them. Thanks for any thoughts!!

    If this is a one-time transfer, it may be practical to send them to a service company that does this.
    If on-going then it may be worth to get a BTR for the machine(s) in question and do away with the tapes & Tape reader.

    I believe Dan Fritz here on the zone has this type of equipment, if he cannot help, send me a PM.
