HURCO CNC MII Retrofit Help Needed.

Hello all!
I was given a Hurco MII from a guy going out of business. When I got it, it worked but they were loading the masters via an old tape daily. That tape is no more... I bought a emulator from hurcousa.com and have since (8 months-ish?) been banging my head against the wall trying to get this thing to communicate. It gets worse...the maintenance guy knocked the LCD they had been using as a monitor on the ground and broke it. So not only can i not get it to communicate, I also can not get this new LCD i bought to display anything. I stumbled upon a similar situation on this forum somewhat recently and was hoping I would be blessed with the knowledge shared on that post. I will upload pictures if anyone is interested. 
Thanks, Greg.

Wow, Caught me with my pants down. Didn't expect a response so quick. I will go take some pictures and collect as much info as possible and will re post shortly. Thanks!

Don't know if this helps: forum.linuxcnc.org/12-milling/39662-hurc...s-cnc-update?start=0

And I'll mention that the LinuxCNC forum is the bomb. Super nice place to look for answers.
