That's more or less the same problem with the milling machines. The hardware is ok, but Boxford refuses to give the Software to the new owner of the machines.
The only thing what someone can do is to remove the BOB and chang it to a new one.
That should run with either Mach3 or Linuxcnc.
Only for Information, is this a machine with QTC or with the tool turret?
Some Pics wher good, that we can see in which condition it is.
