Wanted: Old Mastercam versions... V2, V3, V4

[mark casella_1838]

We are putting together a NC programming museum here in Colorado.

I'm looking for anyone who has the V2, V3, V4 disks who could copy them to their PC and email them to me.

If you don't have a floppy drive, you could send them to me using my UPS account and I'll send them back to you.

What are you going to do with it if you get it? Do you have old computers to install it on? That would be cool to see. 

[?Mark]

Hey Thad.

Yes, we have some old PC's for that purpose. We're still  hoping to find an old one with the Windows for workgroups 3.11 ... remember those 

We even have the 1985 General Numeric "FANUC SYSTEM P-MODEL  G" programming station, but are missing discs....

 

And yes, we have a lot of customers going thru our showroom so that will definitely be cool to show.

 

<cheers>

Intrigued to know your plan....Will you fire up the PC and show someone the SW when they visit?

And hope that the PC will fire up, and hoping someone will be able to remember how to drive the SW?

IDA thought it farrrr easier, to screen record a few bits of a demo and then you can run that on any screen/PC you want?

I will be pulling some boxs out this weekend looking for you Mark. I have down to V5 on network.

 

[Greg Williams]

I have a set of V2.01 disks here if that helps

Were the first CAM versions written in BASIC language?

[?Mark]

Trip down the memory lane for sure ))

While we're on this topic....does anyone have some Microsoft 3.11 era computers laying around in the attic somewhere?

Not sure if I can even run one of those, lol....but I'm sure Mark C can )

I just disposed of one last year.  Bummer.  Doubtful, but there still might be one at my parents place.  The one I have in mind was an IBM with 8MB of RAM.  Was an expensive one back in the day.

Man I think I have the whole X2 box with Disks and all the books somewhere if you want them ?
