What model of rover is it?
Bieng 1992 it could be a Biesse rover 36 or biesse rover 346.

The data is in machinre code and will most probably be in unix.
Therefor it will not be reconised on a standard PC windows/dos ­base­d.

What do you wish to do with the floppy data?

The disk sounds find from what you have explained, please do not format the disk as replacements will be hard to find.

Hi, If you can get another disk and format this disk in your computer, then copy your files from the machine control to the freshly formtted disk, your computer should read the code...Shoppie

The model is a biesse rover 346, i want open the floppy to copy the files to the pc and print the files(programs and subrotines), and if it was possible and i want to change ant test some program in the pc with software ihf it was possible

i'm new in this area and whemn i'm tryng to do a program(subrotine) i had a lot difficulty to do that because nobody teaches me to work with machine, if you can give more information how i ca n be a better operator.

Thanks

Most probable that you have a disk with information that is in a different computer language than what your computer can read. Many Fanuc controls saved to floppy disk, but this was not in a common language for a DOS ­base­d computer.
I am familiar with Fanuc from 70's thru current. Before the shops computers were cabled directly to a computer with communication software installed, they used a portable box. "DATA STORE" and you would insert a floppy disk into the DATA STORE and it would format it to be used only in the language used by the DATA STORE box. They were not intended to be read by a personal computer. The language of FANUC was proprietary.
The data on your disk may still be readable, but only with the right equipment. If you ever "format" the disk on a computer, all data will be lost.
May just have to start writing new programs from now on. And save them to a media that you can retrieve from.

Indy, I suspect the main problem is that when the disk was written, it used the disk in a way that's different from the way Windows/DOS uses it. Even if it's written in a format that Windows doesn't recognise, if the surface is written to in te same way, Windows will show you the files - it just won't be able to open them because it doesn't know which program wrote them.

What you are describing sounds like it can't even see any files. So that means either (a) the disk is trashed in some way (unlikely) or (b) it is written in some proprietary way that Windows can't recognise. This sounds very likely.

Do you know anybody who is good with computers? They will duck outside Windows and use the DOS facility instead. You can look at how disks are written using utility programs which will tell if the disk has been written in a Win/DOS compatible way, or another (proprietary) way.

I think you have a disk written in a proprietary format, precisely to stop anyone else using it. The PC's invitation to format the disk is a dead give-away. It has to be read on that particular type of machine. Sorry! Rgds

Insert other new floppies then try to open it, when its open and no format warning,your the old floppy were damage.
