Fanuc memory card

[within a thou]

I am having a bit of a brain fart and can't for the life of me remember what the card is called that plugs into the side of the screen is called which is making it impossible to find online to order. Does anyone remeber what this card is called? Thanks for all the help and have a great weekend.

Compact Flash Card is what it's called.

 

I'd suggest getting a 64MB or smaller (Yes MegaBite) card to avoid compatability conflicts.

Thank you. Guess the hard part now will be finding one small enough. I am just using it as a memory card so I dont have to devotye a dnc port while a large program runs. So the compact flash card is the same as a pcmcia or do I need a adaptor for my computer and one for the control?

You'll need an adapter, actually two. One for the machine and one for your PC. You cna find small ones online. I use MemorySuppliers.com

 

They have just about every size.

SO the 2 adaptors would be USB to compact flash (for my computer) and compact flash to pcmcia (for the control)? I am guessing?

[Guest CNC Apps Guy 1]

Correct.

 

Compact Flash to PCMCIA...

 

I have several of these and they work like a charm. I keep a few of these around just in case.

Thank you for all your help

One last question though is do you think this would work with a usb flash drive installed?
