I run into problems with the software and never got it going because of health issues.(hit by a car while walking) Did these not have a small round battery on the mother board. That went dead on mine. I talked with you at the CNC WORKSHOP about my NOS 1978 lathe with servo motors.

No rush on it, this machine may keep working for the next 20 years, for
all I know. Due to the large number of battery-backed RAMs on this
system, it has a much larger battery. Basically, all the memory is on
that battery and is retained all the time. No hard drive, floppy or any
other storage on it. Yes, I remember meeting you.
