If those dont get you in then i would wipe and reinstall the OS on machine. its not hard to. function 159 deletes it for you and you just load another one through toolpath or the DNC. Use function 29 to get the OS info before you wipe it. would also be good to get the info stored in machine personality in either toolpath or the DNC.

what driver are you replacing? a motor? board? software? its hard to say where the solution is if i dont know where to look. it sounds like you need to get into either toolpath or the DNC and look in Machine personality. OR, you need to replace the OS on the machine with one that uses a similar driver to whatever it is you got. OR if you replaced whatever it was with basically the same thing. you might just need to calibrate the machine which i think is also in that personality place again, OR use functions 603,610,611,612,and 613, to recalibrate it. OR i could be way off... but don't worry, there is A LOT more from where all that came from. for just one more OR.

I would be willing to upload the AXYS AMC (not A2MC) disc that has everything all of you would ever need for these machines, but i cant find anywhere on this site for uploads. it has all the operating systems, all the drivers all the DNCs all the labs, all the functions and error codes with explanations and if you've never had the joy of working with ToolPath it has all of them as well. and the 388 page training manual, and 72 pages of wiring diagrams. CNCzone does have an upload area, but it does say Open- source and AXYZ is definitely not Open to any source but them. Any suggestions?
Thanks M8. ive created another post so i dont overtake this one. mine is a AM2C i hope you can help. thank you in advance.
