    Default Is this a 4G control board?

    I just received this shopbot- there is no software with it. I believe it is a
    early prs from maybe 2006 and it seems to be in a transition period. I
    will call SB tomorrow but I have time to play with it today- can anyone
    give me any info? I read about the 4G upgrade board but haven't been
    able to really put it all together. Thanks Gene

    If those are Gecko drivers than it is a 4g board it sure looks like it.

    Thank you gentlemen- I didn't think to take the cover off of my 2007
    SBot buddy- it is the same board except the USB comes off of the
    board that stand up off the lower corner on the buddy- the USB comes
    off the board just above the motor connectors on the older one. I am
    getting up to speed I think. I was looking for control software and it sez

    For PRT ShopBots (7/2004 - 9/2007; and early PRS, with Control Cards that have not been upgraded; these systems used USB communications via USB adapter) (with a download for 3.6.46

    I am using 3.6.55 I think on the buddy. Gene
