Hi, I'm still here...
Ok, the machine works and I have already done some work but when I turn off and turn on does not keep in memory the tool and I have to reset with M27 (RESET CAROUSEL TO POCKET ONE).
The problem was there before the break of Baldor card.
Any ideas?
Thanks again.

I'm not 100% sure that the DOS software stores the carousel position...
If it did, then it will probably in the none-volotile memory of the Baldor control board (like it is now, on the modern machines)
So that would suggest the battery has also failed on the new board - I'd try replacing it again.
If you don't want to try that then maybe you can get into the habit of calling tool 1 before powering off everytime

On some of the machines we used to fit a dongle to the printer port on the control pc which saved the tool position.

David,
If you're still looking, I've just removed a complete rack from a 1994 Triac VMC.
The board has a red 7-segment display and the chip has ESMINT/3.28V1.6G B1/S-JD3 on it, however from what I gather you can just change the chip.
I have no idea if it works, but it was powering up before I removed it.
Everything is listed in the classifieds -
