The PMAC itself will be no problem, however any code running on the PC that communicates with the PMAC will need to be examined. What programs are running on the PC that communicate with the Turbo PMAC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanjiv gorka Posted July 3, 2014 Author Share Posted July 3, 2014 Thank-you JeffLowe, We have several PLCs with Turbo PMAC. And we too have .SRC files for these PLCs alongwith ALLFILES.SRC & ALLFILES.PMC At High level we have Mount Application which uses it. Actually we have a Telescope. PMAC is installed on Windows NT. Are these enough to port on PCI Turbo PMAC ? Regards, - Sanjiv We have a very old ISA Turbo PMAC,but now for upgradation we need to port all on a new PCI Turbo PMAC. Any Suggestions ?

Are these enough to port on PCI Turbo PMAC ? If there are going to be any issues I believe it will be in getting Windows NT to recognize the PMAC card. Have you tried seeing if the Turbo PMAC PCI card is even going to be recognized by the OS? IF NT does not automatically pick up the card, the issue is going to be porting your system to a newer OS which will mean updating to a newer communications library like PCommServer.

sanjiv gorka Posted July 4, 2014 Author Share Posted July 4, 2014 Thanks again, Yes we are planning an upgrade for OS too. Linux is preferred but don't know how supportive is PMAC to it. or Else Windows 7 on new PC. -Sanjiv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
