Tape to Disk Conversion

Convert Executive Tapes to Computer files the easy way - HAVE ADR DO IT!

Dealing with the technical details involved requires being both a COMPUTER EXPERT and a CNC SERVICE EXPERT. We have heard many horror stories of machines being down after customers attempted it. We have a proven setup and trained technicians to do it right.

Exec tapes, guaranteed to work:
- Binary codes correctly put into the binary file.
- No lost codes such as NULL's.
- We know what not to put in the file such as MAN-READABLE tape.
- We read the tapes multiple times and verify that the data matches - Insured good data.

Quick and dependable: We know how important these tapes are to your operation. Often customers ship the tapes UPS RED. We read your tapes the same day we receive them and return ship that day. We take extra care in handling the tapes to prevent damage. We provide you with two copies of each computer file.

Free File Compare Program: Normally customers are not equipped with software tools to view, edit and compare executives tapes. We provide a DOS file compare utility program free with each conversion that allows comparison of files ignoring leading and trailing blank tape. The file compare routine can also convert binary files to a HEX ASCII format allowing you to view/print the contents of the executive file using text editors. We also provide a utility program that converts generated HEX ASCII files back to BINARY format, so you can edit the HEX ASCII file and create a modified executive.

Pricing: The standard cost is $395 per CNC.
This assumes you are sending in a readable set of tapes (One main reel, and one small offset or MDI tape). If additional tapes are sent, there may be an additional charge. If the tape is not readable (in spots) or requires special handling there may be an additional hourly rate charge.
