input to recieve milling instructions from a seperate desktop computer. My problem is that this old computer is shot.
Sorry, I did not ask before Need info on old PC - My suggestion may need USB 2.0 PCI Card added if USB Capability is lacking - Needed following info on PC -
1. Desktop Manufacturer
2. Model
3. Interface capabilities IEE 1394 Ethernet
4. OS
5. Was a package with CNC Mill -
Will there be any loss in data transfer speed?? The mill accepts 1k bytes at one time, performs that portion of the milling program, then asks for the next 1k bytes and so on. Rather a slow process, but it does work
Speed ?? 1 Kbyte?? Need to consider factors - + the above info on old PC and PC new replacement??
1. CNC Manufacturer
2. Model Number
3. Sales Rep / Company
4. Maintenance Program or Contract
5. Age of CNC Mill

The old computer had Win98 as the OS and was not a package with the mill.
Well the USBRS-232 Adapter should work. You only appear to be replacing WIN 98 PC Interface I thought you might be talking pre 1987
Is customer supplying data input media As long as that was compatible to WIN 98 Should be fine -
Good Luck
