Hi All,
We have purchased a 1989 Bridgeport / sodick BW275 wire eroder.
When we try to boot up the computer using the Mark IX -X- XI system and user discs the boot up sequences starts correct with "System loading" in the middle of the screen and floppy drive 1 led on & working. but then i get half a line of chinese text and a message saying "for APT press F7 and System Press F10".
We have cleaned both drives thoroughly, and got a copy of the system disc (Version 10T) from an associate with another BW275 albeit a couple of years newer but we still get the same message on the screen.
I think the floppy drive works as when i put the APT disc in drive 1 this loads up, but when i take option 10 - system and insert system disc i again get the same message "for APT press F7 and System Press F10".
Any ideas would be greatly appriciated
Phil
