2.1 Eprom giving me .L

Hi folks, I require a bit more help. I have swapped out the eprom on my triac vmc but I only get a .L flashing on the eurocard. Not sure if this is an issue with the eprom or not. The other two boards I have don't have v2.1 eprom, they are green segment boards. Would the eprom from one of those work...

1997 Triac VMC 240V DOS to vr milling 5

Hello I am in the process of getting my triac vmc delivered to my workshop and I have a few things to figure out before it gets here. I have had a good look around it and there appears to be little wrong other than the fact that the ATC arm doesn’t want to retract properly. It moves about 6” away fr...

2001 Microrouter

Finally managed to get a working microrouter yesterday but this one seems to use a different spindle? I thought the 2001 microrouters only came with the chunky porter cable spindle? this one may be porter cable but it is slimmer and with rings/ threads down the length of the body? Anyone know what s...

As with every other Denford machine I have bought the nextstep card isn’t playing ball! I just got a brand new novamill from a school and I can’t wait to get it going, unfortunately I can’t get the card to communicate with vr5 or 2….

Re: Den-Step top board no LED

When i connect it and choose a microrouter as the machine, it just says cant find mint after checking the com ports?

But if i select microrouter compact it finds it no problem? This is also the problem i had with the original red led card.

Thanks again!
