Paul,

I'll scan it for you. Do have the 214-009-02 or 214-009-05 board in your Bandit
(the board in the card rack which has the serial
cable connection)? I have info on both. The -05 board is much more capable.

Don't know the answer to that one. I'll try to check today when  I get back
to the hangar.

Thanks.

Did you find out which board you have? As soon as you let me know, 
I'll scan the info for that board.

Not yet. Tomorrow. Today I went over to MS Tech to get a demo.
Very impressive! Their stuff does all the low level stuff
a Bandit controller can do in terms of stopping the process
and making low level changes on the fly and then resume milling.

The owner Charlie Kong has a Ph.D. in motion control from UCLA.
His cousin has an NC shop and has been using Charlie's stuff for
five years. Charlie had half a dozen old NC tools in his shop that 
had been converted.

I saw your inquiry on Charlie's desk. They currently have an ISA board
but will have a new PCI board after the first of the year.
Total cost less tool changer software for motion board and software is
$4,000.
