DON'T CUT THOSE WIRES !!

Hi,

I had already turned off the machine, and I am crazy to fire it up
again. ( I should have been in bed )

Is it Andrew who have this Loveboy - something ? ( I have no time
to find out who said what, and to whom )

But, I think it is wise not to cut wires, and first try to see if
the machine can work as it is. TTY is teletype port, and yes, it
is a current loop, most of the time.

You can feed G-codes from any program and computer. These often
used paper hole tapes, and don't always have a high baud rate, but
- it is so much faster than the movement of the axis anyway.

I have always found that it is very wise to try to get something
running as it is designed, before doing modifications. If you want,
I can probably give you a few ideas. Old ISA board IBM serial
cards, do have this current loop, on the normal RS232 DB25
connector. There should be no problem to download programs. At
least I can tell you how to wire the serial port card.
