New (old) Micromill. Need Advice

Post by dieselsubmariner » Fri 15 May , 2015 22:00 pm

just picked u an old Micromill from an Auction. Unfortunately no software, manual or cable. The Mill is dated 1996, so I guess it might still run on the dos software.
The Eprom has the following number : 2.0.B/10/S/B19-JD5.

Does somebody know, if this indeed runs on dos, or what would I need. I also noticed, that the card itself has a smaller serial port cable, which is soldered on the other end to to the old style large serial cable. Can I just use a regular serial cable for this ? if not, what cable?

thanks
Stefan

The EPROM is for the Newer VR Milling software so will not run from the DOS Software.

The External serial cable is a standard 9 - 25 serial cable.

You could make up your own and connect direct to the controller card
