Short answer, no.
Do you have any suggestions of where to locate the FDE package?
I reached out to Yaskawa and had no luck

If you want to manually backup your ERC robot you will need FDE for windows. This is a software package from Yaskawa that works in Windows 10 and uses the RS232 communications of the ERC. Other than the software you will meed to buy the USB to RS232 converter a null modem cable and a 9 to 25 pin adaptor.
All the ERC software to make an external PC act like a external storage drive will not work on a 64 bit computer and will not run on Windows 10, 8, 7, or XP.
Thank you for replying, much appreciated.
I’ll will check out the FDE
Are there 32bit windows or Linux options to let an external PC act like an external storage drive?
Hello
I’m fairly new to robotics, but I’m finding my way around an old Yaskawa K10s with an ERC controller that we purchased for some pick and place proof of concepts for a CI initiative.
I’ve seen serial to USB drives being used on CNC machines in place of floppy drives (like the Titan DNC), a floppy emulator that can save your programs to a virtual floppy on a USB if you have the Yaskawa floppy unit, and I’ve read about the Yaskawa computer program that you can use to connect with and save your programs.
I just wanted to see what experiences people have had with the above or alternate ways to save a program from an ERC or other old controller.
Is it possible to connect a laptop with a serial to USB and use a virtual drive emulator?
Thanks for reading
