We are trying to save files from the PG to diskette using available diskette we can purchase today and its not working. We also try USB v 2 and also not working. Do we have any alternative in getting those files given the Plant would not allow to get it outside the plant? Can simatic Memory Card be used as a storage medium?

The usb will not support V2. I've tried to upgrade it but always failed. I also have a pcmcia network adapter card that works fine. If all else fails then use winpcin and transfer over the serial port. Its only a problem when there is no time and no money
