Maybe even DOS based. The machine looked like new but I couldn't get a pc to work with it so I sold it at a profit. <hr /><a name="a4276_6"></a><p><b>From: Engravin' Dave (DATAKES)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4276.6">#6</a>]<br /> 8 Jul 2006<br /><b>To: gingem</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4276.1">#1</a>] 9 Jul 2006</p> Bill,<br /> <br /> Here's a <a href="http://www.q1engravers.com/downloads/Catalogs/V3000%20&%20LT%20Enhancement%20Catalog.pdf"><font color="#FF0000">LINK</font></a> to a retrofit option from Quality One Engravers for the V3000. <hr /><a name="a4276_7"></a><p><b>From: gingem</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4276.7">#7</a>]<br /> 9 Jul 2006<br /><b>To: ALL</b></p> Thanks for the responses. No problem with the DOS computer if needed(they are all DOS). Guess I will have to take a real look at them and make my decision from there. Thanks Again! <hr /><a name="a4276_8"></a><p><b>From: Harvey only (HARVEY-ONLY)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4276.8">#8</a>]<br /> 9 Jul 2006<br /><b>To: gingem</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4276.7">#7</a>] 9 Jul 2006</p> I do not know if this info will be useful, but if either the V3000 or v3400 has an EP module, either can be driven by Gravostyle 98. This program runs on anything from Win 95 through Win XP Professional. <hr /><p align="center">Show messages: <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4276.1">All</a>  <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4276.1">1-3</a>  4-8</p> <h4><a href="lthread_list.php?webtag=EE">Back to thread list</a> | <a href="llogout.php?webtag=EE">Login</a></h4> <h6>© 2025 <a href="http://www.beehiveforum.net/" target="_blank">Project Beehive Forum</a></h6> </body>
