Hello fellow Botters,

I have a friend that recently bought a old (2002) non ShopBot CNC router.
The Controller on the machine is a Siemens and it uses a Floppy Disk Reader for input of the cutting files. The controller works on G-Code and my Aspire software will output to G-code for a Northwood CNC Router.

The problem is that Floppy Disks are practically extinct and non of my computers have a floppy drive.

So... the question is: Can anyone point me to a solution or Retrofitter that can convert the controller to a more modern communication system.

I would appreciate any suggestions or comment on this issue.
The machine is located in Northern Utah.

George
