i may have posted the wrong part number.
I have DC drives, and have purchased an ELE-0030 set of eproms off of ebay. I am unsure if these eproms are original, or if some dude is able to program them. I paid $250 though, which is way less than all the fadal sites, which want to sell them for $950.
That high of a price from the fadal parts sites is a bit opportunistic in my opinion. Im sure at least one of the fadal site people has an eprom programmer, and is making 'new' chips anyway, so it's not like they're just rare and cannot be made anymore.
At any rate, I no longer need the eproms, although I may be interested in a 1010-5 card if someone has one for sale.
They were cheap because someone is making blatent copies. We were setting up a 6030 with a trunnion and there was a used machinery dealer telling us he had copies...shhh don't tell anyone kind of deal. Copies work just like the originals though. The way you tell where they go is they will have a U number on them. This dictates where they sit on the board. U17-U18 are 1010-4. The U number changes with the newer boards (at least with a -6 board)
We have had good luck with our Fadals milling mostly soft steel and aluminum up to 5 axis. We are always looking for spare parts If you have a broken down Fadal give a shout.
