Hi,
I have been using usb and thumb drives for a couple of years now with
Turbocnc. The files are located in their group or I can upload them
to the file section here.
Basically, you have to add the driver to the config.sys file (and
there are a few, but only one will work with a specific drive) and a
couple of lines in the autoexec file. It will allow you to name the
drive that you insert. Also, it does NOT support hot swap so you
must insert the drive before booting.
It took me a bit to sort out how to get it set up as there was no
instructions, but once that was done, a piece of cake and I haven't
looked back.
