Well the day seems to be ending on a high :clap: While I was blasting, fire fighting and painting DPD crept in and delivered a parcel from Germany containing the Battery Backed RAM Daughter Card, and the Interface Card - best part of a week AHEAD of schedule :thumbup: So after a very careful inspection and copying session for option jumpers in they went : :ddb: :ddb: :ddb: AND THE CONTROLLER SPRANG INTO LIFE :ddb: :ddb: :ddb: . . . phew, it looks like the gamble may have paid off and this lathe might once more return to active service ! Lots more to do to restore the various bits of data so it knows which lathe it's running in, and you can be sure that there will be a few 'Gotchas' along the way but most definitely PROGRESS with a capital P |

Excellent! This would be the point at which I would consider myself properly 'on the road'. |
| awemawson:
Yes Pete I'm sitting gathering my thoughts in a mixture of exhaustion from today's activities, quiet satisfaction in getting some sense from the controller, and relief that the lathe hopefully now won't be a very large, expensive, and slightly embarrassing door stop :clap: |

Isn't it amazing what Old Speckled Hen can achieve? :drool: |
