General Mach Discussion / new hermes vanguard 5000 controlling

« on: November 04, 2009, 06:37:58 PM »

I recently picked up a new hermes vanguard 5000 i have two of the machines and a control pc but the old software is too limiting,  I want to set it up with mach3.  I noticed the back of the machine has a parallel connector, can I just hook this up to my pc?  Has anyone messed with one of these before and maybe have some insight.  I am not totally helpless with electronics but thats about it.  I have working knowledge of g-code and cnc running.  Please help point me in the right direction.
