If you, like mwiz10, are wondering how do you get the gcode onto these mills with older control systems:
According to Javilen17, most of the older Fadals take a 3.5 in floppy which can contain the .NC program. This particular machine was modified to take a USB stick with the program.
To load the g-code you would input the following in the MDI:

DNCX, .NC +
There is also some modifications to that need to be made to the g-code. Mostly just some configurations such as incremental line numbering needing to be removed.
