Title: PCI Parallel not working
Post by: dcattena on November 19, 2012, 07:14:15 PM

Hi, I have recently set-up my 3-axis to work with the Toshiba TB6560 controller. The wiring is correct as the remote control works but I am still unable to get the controller working with MACH3. I've been doing some research and I am using a PCI parallel card, I have been changing port addresses still with no luck. I'm running 64bit windows 7 and mach3mill.

Ill post some screenshots of the settings I currently have. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

MACH3 with a lpt port will NOT work in 64bit windows  It runs in 32bit mode ONLY.

Just a thought, (;-) TP

So if i reinstall to windows 7 32bit this will work 100%?

You may want to do a search on that on this site.
