Re: [Emc-users] Koerner retrofit

Florian, Windows 95 / 98 is MS-DOS with a graphic user interface on top. There was a boot option to start with DOS and then start Windows manually afterwards from the command line, calling c:\windows\win.exe. It was possible to stop Windows, too, get out and return to the normal DOS surface.

Hi Sven > That's a feature I really want in LCNC! Me too. > Problem is it's outdated. I can only feed it with a floppy disc. Hmm, even if it's running DOS you could at least update to USB. There is a USB driver that makes USB flash drives available as a CD drive to USB. It works quite well,

Re: [Emc-users] Koerner retrofit

Oooh... Didn't know that! That's a feature I really want in LCNC! Problem is it's outdated. I can only feed it with a floppy disc. @Peter Blodow, I will try to get in touch with them. The hardware is well designed and tidy so it's worth keeping for sure. /S 2017-02-18 21:42 GMT+01:00 Florian

Re: [Emc-users] Koerner retrofit

Sven, the guy in the mail forum which I suggested to you expects the Körner company, especially its owner Michael Körner, to be so cooperative as to provide original documents from the archive. Why not try first before you throw it all away? Peter Am 18.02.2017 15:10, schrieb Sven Wesley: >

Re: [Emc-users] Koerner retrofit

They are servos, pretty big for the machine size too. Thanks for the link! The machine is the same as the one they discuss (Körner 532S). The computer is still working so I will see if I can dig out any config from it. In worst case I'll rip the hardware out and buy some new drivers and a breakout

Re: [Emc-users] Koerner retrofit

Sven, please specify more detail of that machine, at least name, number etc. There is a company (koerner.net), 36456 Barchfeld (bei Bad Salzungen), Germany, making CNC machines. The motors are long, still may be steppers, i use to have similar ones (Dunker Motors), somewhat smaller. Peter PS:
