    program input/output with RS232 port on Mitsubishi 50L

    I have a Daewoo Lynx with a Mits M50L controller, no floppy drive just a RS232. I am trying to step it down to USB and upload/download programs on my laptop.

    I have been trying with Mastercam editor and EasyDNC demo with no luck.
    It says device not ready on controler when I try to download. I have a line tester hooked up and the port is working, just not downloading for me.

    Does anyone do something similar and could give me any suggestions.

    I have been considering getting a Calmotion disk reader or a CNCGcoder from RBR, but they are about $800.

    Make sure you have the correct port identified, also use hardware handshake jumpered out, this is 4-5 & 6-8-20 on a 25p connector.
