Show"N"Tell ( What you have made with your CNC machine.) / 6 axis Robot

The robot finally came alive yesterday.  It was mostly printed on Dimension 3D FDM printers, I only machined 3 simple parts - hex couplings that bolt to the 30:1 gear reductions.

General Mach Discussion / Setting up a second parallel port card - NetMOS Nm 9805CV

« on: June 01, 2009, 07:19:05 PM »

Hi All,

I'm having trouble setting up my second parallel port card. It is a StarTech PCI1P_LP
Mach3 wont work with it at all, there is no signal to the charge pump on it and im dead in the water.  I have Two gecko 540s. One is working great, its plugged into the onboard port. The other I cannot seem to get running.

I searched and searched, installed the drivers from the netmos site, tripple checked my base adresses etc.. 

What can I do?  Is there a known working card I can buy?  I dont care if it costs over 100$, I need something that works.
