Mach3 under Vista / Re: Mach 3 Migration from XP-32 to Win7-64
« on: June 13, 2016, 06:40:03 PM »
I finally gave up on the upgrade.
After buying a SmoothStepper ESS (Ethernet) and Mach 4 and setting up Windows 7 x64.
I was unable to find a transition guide for Mach 3 to 4 and unable to get it to work.
Now I have a slightly newer computer with an SSD running XP-32, Mach 3 with my old SmoothStepper USS (USB).
All is working fine. Perhaps I can get 5 years out of this configuration.
By then I hope it will be easier to run an x64 OS CNC system.
