Title: ExpressCard Lpt / Mach3
Post by: stang6t8coupe on September 03, 2008, 03:53:39 AM

Hi,
does anyone know if there ist an ExpressCard/LPT converter that works with Mach3?

I got a new notebook that i want to use with Mach3, but i doesn't have a PCMCIA slot.

Thank You
Adrian

your best bet would be to get a SmoothStepper, more expensive but great performance :)

Hi,
i am already considering it, but there are some financial issues. Our Car had to be repaired, that made quite a hole in my cnc-budget :-(

But i think this would be the best way....

Thank You
Adrian

forget the car, walk and keep fit ;D
Seriously though I feel your pain, I am 99% of the time in your situation. The 1% of the time I am not is shortlived as I spend the spare cash very quickly ;)
