I have a machine coming that uses a motherboard with a pcie card. I don’t know the model of the card yet.
Should I try and use this or just switch the more modern Ethernet card?
Im assuming the original HD is bad. That’s why they sold the machine.

That is a PCI card (a 5I20)
If the motherboard is OK, probably the easiest path
is to just get a new harddrive
Is there any chance the original HAL and INI files are available or
can be salvaged from the
Storage appears to be a compact flash card.

Get 2 of USB flash drives, on one burn the LinuxCNC image from the downloads page, from the pictures i would say use the Wheezy ISO, then
-boot the PC from that USB drive with ISO image
-use it in LIVE mode to browse the Compact Flash card contents, navigate to /home/USER_NAME/EMC2/configs/ and copy the configuration folder by right clicking on it
-insert the SECOND USB flash drive, wait 5 seconds it should open another file browser, if it does not, find it on the left side of the existing file browser and click on it, right click on the empty space on the right pane and click on paste.
-turn OFF the PC
-
Or just turn on the PC and see if it starts, then copy the above mentioned folder to another USB.
