Martin,

Mine may be the same - I'll check. The interface is a simple 3 wire
one but I seem to remember that there is an odd protocol where it
uses the tx data line as a busy when receiving. My paperwork isn't to
hand - I'll have a hunt arround

No not tried TurboNC - I've also got a Denford Orac lathe, same
vintage, that uses a totally different controller !
