I have a couple of different versions of the Premier Controller boot disk.
I have fixed about 40 Premier Controllers and in all of them it was due to disk drive failure.

It takes and older type of floppy drive so if you put in a newer drive it won't work.

Some newer drives can be modified to work.

Found a liitle bit of info. Boot disk part numbers are 006935-01 or 003429 for the premier controller. As for using a computer tower and bypassing the premier controller altogether?
Not so simple a task either. Appears the ep1 was compatible with xp - vista 32 computers only which adds its own additional issues as well. Namely network cards, proprietary cables ,and pci isa slots. But I am not easily discouraged and have a few tricks left. Lol
If I got anything wrong, or anyone knows better, or another way to make this function pls do share.

Hey all,

I'm also looking for the Premier Controller System Disk(s) -- I picked one up to troubleshoot an older EMC. While it came with quite a few boot disks for other Melco systems, the controller disks are missing.

If anyone has a copy/archive they're willing to share (the link above is dead), it would be much appreciated -- happy to share anything I have you might need (or chip in a few bucks). :p

Best,
Matt

(Dropbox upload link, in case it's easier for sharing)

Let me look and see, I think I have a couple but I will try to copy it. Anyone have an EP1 for sale, I just need the embroidery machine. Mine is really giving me issues and think I will just try to find another. I will let you all know in a day or two.
