Topic: I just got my hands on a old Solidoodle workbench trash or convert?

The firmware is out of date, and I have no way to download the drivers, other than a trash can does anyone have any idea of what I could do with it? I have fixed a variety of machines before, any advice?
Thank in advance.
-Justin

It's not trash.  Upgrade it, or sell it to me!

I put a DuetWiFi board in mine and did some other upgrades.  It's a great frame to build a modern printer in.

(Falcon, the one in that link is an SD4...but another good printer)

LOL, turns out that it is indeed a full on, dual head workbench.
The manual might have been for an SD4, but the printer itself is not.
