Hi,
This machine is a Denford MicroMill supplied through AES.
The unit shown is fitted with a Denstep control card and the 5 is normal.
The external rs232 cable is a standard RS232 cable.
Do you have the software that was supplied with the machine? If so you will have a Licence key disc.
If you have this disc you can download the final version of VR Milling 2 from our website and install this.
Just a final question. In the second photo you show the control card. There is an EPROM fitted to this board. Can you let us know the version number on the EPROM?
