SITUATION
Stand-alone ZCS coding software (floppy disc P/N 01 11 9 788 251 and DIS MODIC II download) are no longer available for the MODIC II. This is due to the limited size of the MODIC II memory capacity.
All ZCS coding functions must be performed with the DIS. This is effective with the release of DIS CD 12 (to be released shortly).
