Hi Tom,
If my memory serves me right I do believe that the drives are of the D550 type and therefore they will not work with Kflop. That is why I had so much huzzle getting these to work years ago. I will have to go back to Pport as it has been working OK but now that I have another PC maybe I will have some issues with the new one.
Or.....
As these 5-phase things are so old and expensive to replace it might be better to replace the system with modern motors/drives.

At least now I have one spare setup of Kflop/Kanalog to my milling machine :)
Cheers
Bengt
