I have a bridgeport cnc conversion and I've had my fill with these floppy disks. I keep having issues with the disks, writer, and now it seems that I have some problem with the reader on the machine. I bought one of those floppy emulators so I can plug a flash drive in but it doesn't seem to be just a plug and play type of thing.
I don't know much about windows 95 as I was still in diapers at the time.. How do I get the cnc controller to recognise the new drive. I don't understand how a guy installs the drivers or whatnot. I've already upgraded from this machine but I want it to be more user friendly to it's next owner and I already have the emulator.
In the middle of a job, I can no longer load new files to be ran off the floppy disk.
Or I also bought a rs232 adapter to USB that maybe could allow my laptop to piggyback the control. Idk any help is appreciated
