Any one have old triac vmc parts lying around? i need a eurocard with a 2.1 eprom on it to get my vmc up and running. if someone has the USB variant i would also be interested.
if someone has a 2.1 eprom or an old denstep card i may also be interested.
Thanks!
Ive got some stuff from my Triac VMC but need to dig it out. Where are you based? Im in Ickenham (Middlesex), you are welcome to come take a look at what bits I have.Quote:

Well, its all the cards that came from my VMC when I removed the electronics. I dont know the specifics of what you need, some pics will be useful and Ill take a look by the weekend.Quote:

Ill try to get a photo up today
I've got a complete rack from a 90s VMC sat on the workshop floor just now, and I'm near Edinburgh. It's got a Mint V3.28 eeprom in it.

damn, that is the same DOS eprom i have already. Trying to get it working on VR5 in order to retain the atc operation. Out of curiosity have you converted your VMC to Mach with a tool changer? What are you looking for the parts?
I thought VR5 had the option to use legacy machines, or does it require the later EEPROM?
Just had a quick look, and it looks like you'll need to configure the machine settings once you've selected the Triac Denstep option. By default, most of the options are not enabled, so you'll need to enable everything that's applicable.
I'm converting mine to Dynomotion's KMotionCNC. As it stands, I need to finish wiring in the tool changer solenoids/sensors, write the required code to make it work, and then do something about making a new control panel. There is a thread on here about it, but I've had a couple other jobs I had to get done, so it's not been updated for a couple weeks.
I'd only be looking for some beer tokens for the old bits. If nobody wants the bits by the time I get the machine fully running, they'll be going in the bin, as I'm trying to avoid gathering piles of obsolete parts.
