Possible to upgrade from DOS to VR Milling 2.31?

Post by cecil29000 » Mon 08 Nov , 2010 16:02 pm

We have recently started playing around with a MicroMill that was donated to us a few years back. I was just wondering if there was any way if we could switch from the DOS program controlling it now to VR Milling 2.31. It seems it would be a bit easier to run than hitting random keys to see what they do. The manuals for this software are around somewhere, but cant be found at the moment... I've attached pictures of the board when the software is running. Sorry for the quality, all we had at the time was a cell phone. On the LED display, when the software is inactive, it has a blinking . and what looks like an L. When the program is run, it switches to an 8. I can get better pictures tomorrow when I can get back in the shop.

Here are a few more pictures i took today of it. It is a SmartStep board, if that helps too.
