Hi I have recently purchased a second hand CNC Router, it is a rather old isel model from about 12-15 years ago. (supplied computer was running a windows 98 cnc server program.)
At the present time the 3 axis are hooked up via a serial plug and the router is connected via a separate control box using a parallel plug.
from what I have read mach3 doesn't accept serial port in.
Is my best option to convert from serial to parallel or to usb?
The router head can be controlled by hand but being able to hook that up too would be the best option.

What would you recommend I use as the input for mach3?
What are the best port selecting/aligning tutorials for use with mach3?

If you require more information just ask and I will get back to you as quickly as possible.
Thank you in advance for any help you may be able to give.
Brian
