Boxford TCL 160 Help!

Post by avana »

Dears,
Sorry for my bad english, I am an dutch (flemish)speaking belgian, so I try an explanation.
At our school we have an older small cnc lathe - Boxford 160 TCL- but the manuals are missing and the PC 386 is blown up. Last is to replace, but:
We want to reuse it with the DOS software wich we have still on 2 DD discs- the cold start key disc is not to copy, if crash=total out. (It is the IBM version 1.06) Who can help?
The machine is bought ca. '91 in Belgium, but the inporter do not exist anymore and the
factory give no support anymore. Update cost 3270Eng. pounds..;EEEK, no way.
Other schools, in dutch speaking Belgium , who have also such a lathe, are not known .
So we searche elsware copy of technical manuals from hard- and software.
Or, how can we modernise the lathe with a minimun on costs? Software, firmware?
After the lathe we start to modernise our Denford Triac as wel, so that is the next.
Thaks for the help.
