Hi,
A few years ago I bought a 1979 BridgePort CNC mill. I finally got it running recently. The mill had been upgraded with a controller that allows it to be run from a PC. The controller is obscure. I don't think it was around for very many years and it wasn't sold very widely. It was called Artisan. I am having trouble getting proper G Code for it. When I bought the mill it included 2 floppy discs with Bob Cad Version 16.1 on them. I can't get them to load onto the computer. Do I need a key or password of some kind to get it to work? If so, will I ever be able to find a key for it? If not is there a chance I could buy an old version of Bob Cad like this? I think I need an old version 16 or close to it. The reason I need an old version is because I read somewhere that version 16 or 17 actually specified a post processor for Artisan.
Any thoughts or advice?
Thanks a lot
Rob
