General Mach Discussion / Mach3 and Roland Mills
« on: November 24, 2010, 02:44:19 PM »
i've got a Roland MDX-540SA and it's connection is USB only. it is also recognized by the system as a printer.
has anyone tried using Mach3 with one of Roland's new systems? i've fiddled around with the Mach3 demo and i can't seem to find any way of redirecting it to the USB connection. i realize in the requirements section it says:
"if using the Mach3 Parallel Port Driver - laptops are not supported because the power saving features of the chipsets disrupt the pulse stream, PCMCIA and USB parallel adaptors will *not* work."
but i assumed that meant that it would not work through USB to parallel adapters or do i have that all wrong?
