I have a Starturn 5, below are pics of the board and eprom.

I have downloaded 2 files one has what looks to be the drivers and progams in
fanucld.zip
the other
FANUCSLD.zip
just has the programs in.
I have also downloaded
DRIVERS.zip and DRIVERS2.zip

I have only just realised there was a difference with the zip files.
I have been just running the FANUCSLD that doesn't have the drivers in so this could be what my problem is (as well as sorting out the RS232 pinouts) Where do I put the drivers files?

Running the FANUCSLD with the following GO File
IBM.RS2 1
$2F8 3 MACHINE
DENFORD1.KBD 1
18.2 $3F8 4
VGA.CRT 0
FANUCSLD.APP

I get the error 128

My computer only has one com port. I do have the older Tutor keyboard (single overlay) I may look at adding a PCI rs232 at a later date to run the tutor.

Can I just edit the Go as follows to stop the tutor keyboard loading and put the Starturn on Com1?

IBM.RS2 1
$3F8 4 MACHINE
DENFORD.KBD 0
18.2 $2F8 3
VGA.CRT 0
FANUCSLD.APP

what are all the other EXE files for in the folder? Drip Feed etc.
