No. The Sitest button is greyed out. Can I install a regular windows version of NT 4.0, or does it have to be a Siemens version of windows?

Chris, It's been a while since I used a Siemens, but I was thinking its starting communication to Gantries, tables, and WPC for Axis zeroing. Like I said its been awhile! When replacing drive, did you copy the *.ma files back to the drive? Tom

Thanks for all the help. I have decided to clone the 2 hard drives from my good machine and put them in the broken machine. That will get my machine running but the 2 machines will be addressed the same. Does anyone know what files to change to re

Chris, The machine is looking for a response from the LC. Usually, it will hang up from a corrupted .gf file. delete all the .gf files from the station. make sure you are NOT hooked up to the LC and/or LC turned off, put machine in stand alone mode.

I think Siemens 80 S20 is a great machine. I worked on them for a few years, with very little problems. They are extremely easy to maintain. I think a complete PM took about an hour. The software is good and user friendly. You can change one over
