hello
have you the dongle on the parallel port?
i had same trouble without

you can copy the programm with external "dikette reader" from pc win7 and put it in w98 pc.
i do this and it work perfect.
denford mirac oct 1989 knew canned cycles (for exemple G71 G76 ) so you can use recent software correctly postprocessed with fanuc.

hello
i think you have just to do a diskette with a new pc to do the transfer.

sorry for the picture size

hi steve i use lathecam only or write programs by hand. it seems miracpc only accept ".mir ". mirac software use actually usuals tools, rough, part, boring bar, but don't know internal threading tool. it can used "g71 two lines" and "G76 two lines", so you can do manualy programs to internal boring ...

hi steve
i live in France, near Paris.
it's difficult to upgrade a miracpc?
gilles

hi
do you know how upgrade to quick turn 2d?
it's possible to work inside with it?
gilles

ok pete
it's different on the mirac.
gilles

hi pete happy you could turn a piece i 've got same trouble in the beginning. for the parting tool, you must choose another by "setting tool" with the tutor keypad. you find 2 or 3 mm possible. i think you can't change the "stop position " on the atc if it's the barufaldi like mirac. it's the caract...

hi pete
i had curious problems first time i did offset on a mirac pc.
i stop to use the letter "M" before entering the values and all axes reset to zero correctly after press "reset" key.
you could try without?
gilles

hi do you know how change the thread pitch with lathecam ? in the manual you can see you have to alter value in lcd.ini, and it appears in lcd.ini then you do this before file generate, but the final thread still stay on the same pitch. for example, you can't do: diameter 30 mm, thread lookup 1 mm l...

lathecam works perfect with xp sp3

thank martin
the idea is to know if it's possible to adapt a post pro for featurecam, mastercam, etc to work with a mirac.
unfortunately, denford don't sell softs if you're not a school.
gilles

thank for the answer martin. my question was not clear :
but i asked version of fanuc with mirac: ot,om, 20TA, 21I, else?
gilles

this seems different than your exemple, but i'm not shure if my cable is good or not,
did you think that i've to rebuild a lead like your example or not?
gilles

i'm in trouble with my miracpc: it'seems what the soft of the mirac (mirac v1.47) don't see at all the denford desktop tutor. it seems what all leads are plugged correctly, and the machine worked perfect before. the red led on the tutor is light normaly. the tutor sometimes work but only few seconds...
