HI jim, I talked to my friend at kone spares today regarding replacement of the 6010 drive. She says that that drive is obsolete, and there is no replacement for a conversion. Funny thing was that she said she had talked to someone the previous day about the same thing we are talking about. She said she did not get to finish the conversation with the person on the other line. she asked if maybe it was you or your friend, strange coincidence. I kind of thought it would be hard to integrate a new drive to replace the 6010, since half of the controller is comprised of at least a dozen or more boards that make up the drive part of the system. the logic and relay part of the controller is then wired to all the different boards to make up the rest of the system. it would be nice to put a new drive on this system, but the downside is probably the cost and reengineering it would take to do it safely. just my thoughts hey jim thanks for the offer of helping with prints in a pinch. i will contact you thanks again, scott ps. shout out to vic,
