Hi
Thankyou for the membership. I have a emco vmc100, and have lost the MSD. I tried to contact emco, but No help to get the MSD. Have checked inside, No papers, No tapes. Hope someone have the MSD, and can help me. Tony Denmark

Its possible I have it, If I do its
been outside under a cover for a long time (tape sitting in a box
on machine) I will try to have a look in the weekend. I dont need
it as I intend to use other software and a pc to controll mine,
oneday. I will probably move before I do mine.
Hope someone have the MSD, and can help me.??

Tony,
You might be in luck. Let me know in a couple weeks if no one provides you the data. I am parting out a VMC100/TM02 as I have time available. I went out into the shop and looked through the file cabinets and found that I have all the manuals for the VMC100 and TM02. As I recall, the TM02 was a pain in the ass and it took me a long time to get it running. I was so happy to replace it with a PC Mill 100 and PC /Turn 120.
My TM02 controllers that ran the VMC100 and Turn 120 were configured as a FMS(?) machine and had a robot and long linear slide that went between the machines. It also has the pneumatic chuck and tailstock along with automatic door and other stuff. I am not sure my MSD files are going to work for you without modification due to all the bells and whistles that were integrated into the machine.
I found an old magnetic tape cartridge that is labeled “VMC100 MSD Data, All Programs”. It’s been years since I used it. I do remember that the tape drives were a problem and if you don’t have a good tape drive you can eat the tape and destroy it. Make sure you have a good tape drive that works on spare tapes before using it for a MSD tape.
I also found a printer output that I labeled “MSD Dump VMC100”. It is barely readable even when I first printed it. For some reason the most of the printing is very faint except for some headers that have only one letter such as D and some others which are bold. I could take the printed pages to work and crank up the contrast on the copier and see if I can darken the print so you can read it. If so, I can then scan it and send the file to you. The dump looks like it has a header character and then lists a single digit or set of digits per line. Some lines have values in them but most are zeros. You will have to figure out how to enter the data, it’s been too many years for my old brain to remember.
Let me know if someone has a simpler solution for you.
Doug

Tony,
Let me know if you can open this file. I don’t remember if this the original or after I took out the FMS robot stuff.
Also have some notes that I will send in separate email.

Here are some notes from the robot company about changing the MSD file to accommodate the robot system.
I also have notes about how to enter and transfer to tape the MSD data. You indicated you already have all that stuff so am not going to include it here.
Good luck.
