Have successfully fired up a saber 750 with a A2100 control using flash memory module, which replaces the IDE hard drive. Ran all day yesterday without a problem. Have a edm tech that has been using these modules in edm machines that were running hard drives and has had no problem in over a years time.
No moving parts or spinning platters at 3600 rpm waiting for the heads to crash and everything lost when you least expect it!! It will costapprox $50.00
And you can do it yourself!
Let me know if you need more info
