Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Bridgeport Torq Cut 22

Hi Paul:
If this is a DX32 control you,ll probably need "real" DOS to make it run.
WIN 2K is an NT platform and only has a DOS emulator so far as I know.
You can run for sure under WIN 98 and 98 SE.
You have to boot directly to DOS; if you go through WIN 98, the command screens in the BMDX program turn into gibberish.
First force the computer to boot to DOS instead of to WIN 98...I used to know how to do this but I've forgotten.
From the command prompt, type the command "run" and hit enter.
At least that's how it works with my Defiance with Bridgeport DX32 control.
Cheers

Marcus

Hi Ken

I recently purchased a used 1996 Torqcut22. I am going through a
checkout of the machine.

I am thinking of trying a newer PC with it. I want to try running
the program under DOS emulation mode with Window 2000.

I am planning to try a new keyboard with a numerics pad.

While I have some manuals, I do not have a good manual on how the
operate the machine. Well, at least for level of knowledge. I am an
engineer with many years of experience in operating conventional
machine tools. But never CNC.

I am interested in hearing about your experiences. I would be nice
to have a user's group.
