1. Summary — read this first
By purchasing the Satisloh V50 OS Recovery Package (the “Package”) from archivesatis.com you confirm that you have read, understood and accepted these Terms & Disclaimers. You will be asked to tick a checkbox confirming this before payment, and the version of these Terms you accepted (2026-11-09) is recorded with your order.
- This is a digital disk image of a working Satisloh V50 card — no physical card or hardware is shipped.
- It contains the machine parameters and tool table of the source machine. Your parameters must be restored or checked, and the machine recalibrated, by a qualified technician.
- Compatibility with every V50 hardware revision, option and machine version is not guaranteed.
- Supplied “as is”: you are responsible for safe operation of your machine and for any downtime, scrap or damage.
- Not affiliated with or supported by Satisloh.
- Digital product: refunds only if the file cannot be delivered or is defective (see Terms).
2. What you are buying
The Package is a downloadable ZIP file (satisloh_v50_os_backup.zip) containing a raw sector-by-sector disk image of the CompactFlash boot card of a working Satisloh V50 lens generator, a reference copy of every file on that card, written guides and a checksum file.
The image was taken from one specific machine. It represents the software, parameters and file versions installed on that machine at the time it was archived. No updates, newer versions, source code, installation media, service software or documentation from the manufacturer are included.
No physical goods are shipped. CompactFlash cards, card readers, adapters, batteries and tools are not included.
3. Compatibility
The Package is intended for Satisloh V50 lens generators with an Intel i486 controller, AMIBIOS and a CompactFlash-to-IDE boot drive. Before buying, compare your machine with the hardware specifications on the home page.
Satisloh produced the V50 over several years with different hardware revisions, options, PLC versions and loaders. We cannot guarantee that the archived software will work with every revision or option set. Factory default parameter sets for other V-series models (V75, V95, V100) are present on the card, but the Package has only been used on a V50 and is sold for the V50 only.
Some cards, BIOS versions or CF-IDE adapters may require different settings than the ones described in the guide.
4. Machine parameters and calibration (important)
A lens generator’s parameter files describe the individual machine: axis encoders, reference positions, measuring-system offsets, spindle type, interfaces and tool data. The files in the Package (in particular V50MAK.INI and V50WZG.INI) contain the values of the source machine, not of your machine.
Before the machine is used for production, its parameters must be restored from your own backup or checked and corrected, and the machine must be referenced and calibrated, by a qualified technician. Running the machine with unverified parameters can cause axis collisions, incorrect lenses, damage to tools, spindles or measuring devices, and injury.
We do not provide parameter values for your specific machine, and we cannot recover parameters that were lost with your old card.
5. Safety and qualified personnel
A lens generator is an industrial machine with high-speed spindles, moving axes and coolant systems. Installing the card, changing BIOS settings, editing parameters and test cutting must only be done by trained personnel following the manufacturer’s safety instructions and your local workplace-safety rules, including lock-out / tag-out when working inside the electrical cabinet.
Never bypass guards, door interlocks or emergency stops while testing the machine.
6. No warranty
The Package is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we make no warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, non-infringement, or that the Package will restore your machine to operation.
The guides describe a procedure that has worked on the source machine. They are offered as general technical information and do not replace the manufacturer’s service documentation or a qualified service technician.
7. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, archivesatis.com is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, including machine damage, production downtime, scrapped lenses or blanks, lost profits, data loss, or injury arising from the use or inability to use the Package. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Package is limited to the amount you paid for it ($299 USD).
Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded under the law applicable to you.
8. License and permitted use
You receive a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Package to restore and maintain Satisloh V50 machines that you own or service for a customer, and to keep backup copies for that purpose.
You may not resell, publish, share, upload to file-sharing sites or otherwise redistribute the Package or its contents, in whole or in part.
The disk image includes the MS-DOS system files and the control software that were installed on the source machine. It is intended solely for restoring machines that were originally supplied with this software.
9. Independence and trademarks
archivesatis.com is an independent archive and service. It is not affiliated with, authorized by, endorsed by or supported by Satisloh or any of its affiliates. The manufacturer’s warranty, service contracts and support do not apply to the Package.
Satisloh, MS-DOS, AMIBIOS, SanDisk, Altec and other names are trademarks of their respective owners and are used only to identify compatible equipment.
10. Digital delivery
After successful payment you are redirected to a confirmation page with a download button. The download link is personal, time-limited and limited to a small number of downloads. Save the file and keep a backup copy — we may not be able to provide the file again indefinitely.
If the link expired or the download fails, email support@archivesatis.com with your order email address and we will issue a new link.
11. Refunds
Refunds are issued through PayPal to the original payment method.
Because the Package is digital content that is delivered immediately, purchases are final once the download has started, and you agree that you lose any right of withdrawal from that moment where the law allows this.
We will replace the file or refund the purchase if (a) you could not download it and we cannot fix the problem, or (b) the file is defective (the checksum does not match) and we cannot provide a working copy. Contact support@archivesatis.com within 14 days of purchase.
We do not offer refunds because the machine has a hardware fault, is not a compatible V50, or requires parameter restoration or calibration as described above.
12. Payments and privacy
Payments are processed by PayPal (PayPal balance or debit/credit card, depending on your country). We never see or store your card or bank details. We store your email address, the PayPal order and transaction IDs, the amount paid, the date, the accepted Terms version, your language and the number of downloads in order to deliver the Package, provide support and prevent abuse. We do not sell your data.
Prices are in US dollars. Your bank may apply currency conversion fees. Any applicable taxes are shown at checkout.
13. Changes and governing law
We may update these Terms. The version you accepted at purchase applies to your order.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Panama, without prejudice to mandatory consumer-protection rules of your country of residence.
