General Mach Discussion / Re: Three LPT Ports

OK.   So a third LPT port is not an option...

This leaves me with either Modbus or a keyboard emulation device such as Pokeys55.    For me, I think the Pokeys55 will be quick, simple and cheap to use with my TTL pendant from Keling inc..   So the question I have before getting out the credit card is "will pokeys coexist with a keyboard"?  Mach3 being a windows app, it's difficult to drive long term without a standard keyboard.

Thanks, Andy K

Hi,   Just a quick question (I Hope).

I have built a CNC Plasma table (My first) controlled by Mach 3 and need to connect three different parallel devices...   

Machine Control,  LPT1 (4 Axis and the usual e-Stop, & Home switches)
Torch Height Controller, LPT2 ( Bob Campbell THC 300)
MPG, LPT3   (4 Axis )  As the machine is 15' * 8',  jog from the keyboard is not practical when setting up large jobs.   

Can this be done?? 

Thanks,

Andy K
