You can download the TU150 softwarefrom,

https://website.denford.ltd.uk/dos-vinta ... formation/

You will need the Flstep & Drivers2 & make it a boot disc.

I see you have the serial number EO5299, I have the same machine with serial number EO5266 manufactured in November. Small world I guess. Mike

hello mike2424!
Does your machine use dos?

[mike2424]

Yes it uses dos. I am in the learning mode at this time as I try to spend time with it between jobs here in the shop. I want to use the machine to make taper pins, but I keep screwing up the programming. Maybe a couple more beers and it will all make sense. Mike

I have a TU150U, but probably the same procedure, did you see this post:

These are the Flstep.go & Flstep.opt files that were sent out with the machine.
You will need to copy the files over the standard set on the disc.

thanks Martin !!

Can I download these two files from the website or only create them myself?

[Martin]

They should have both been created when you downloaded the FLSTEP software. You can just replace the text in the files to suit.
