Can I ask which tool shop?
It wasn't G&M tools was it?

If so... I apologise... :whistling: *REALLY*!


...it arrived last week...

It turned out the Boxford 160 was the older BBC model, with the 37 pin, 1Mhz bus connector, Z80 chips and all that...

I've got all the bits I need on order, hopefully have them next week. Then will begin the conversion. I plan to do it in stages, while maintaining functionality.
At first will be the basics to get it talking to Mach 3 on X, Z, spindle and automatic tool changer; then I'll pop out the drivers and throw some new ones in. Then go back and tie up all the loose ends on the control pannel / coolant side of things...

Anyway, I'll be sure to make a new thread when I'm ready! :)

Ta,
Dan
