There is software available like valors new vPlan, single point solution, can support Mydata and Panasonic machines - can convert programs in both directions. ALso has all the Gerber, EDA import, BOM import merge - compare, plus many other advanced f

"Wondering if there's an easy solution to save a product along with component database to disk, and load the product directly from there?" The program that you have on your GSM should be the last known good program right? So why would you want to sa

Thanks for all the responses! I definitely agree, I don't like the idea of using floppies, either - and our HD is WELL, and regularly, backed up. While I both program and operate the machine, mgmt is insistent on this method. I ended up just copyi
