   hello, does anyone know how to connect PC to S4 controller (M98),except Floopy disk?
   I know that backup made to floopy disk can be opened by PC Windows .

   But beside this way,Is there some network method (like S4C+ and IRC5) or serial port connection method, for
us to backup/load program file on S4 controller?

    If your controller doesn't have the RAP/FactoryWare options or Ethernet services then there are no other options.

    As stated, if you do have for instance ethernet services, just use a crossed ethernet cable and connect to the controller using any ftp client. The connection address is then 192.168.125.1 for the service port.

       Thank you Russell and aNoRSWE. Unfortunely I checked and found I did not have option of RAP/FactoryWare options or Ethernet services. I have to give up and turn back to floopy disk.
