Mach3 under Vista / Re: Will MACH3 ever support 64-bit systems? Officially? FYI, it's 2010

I have loaded Win 7 64 bit on a laptop with a plcm ethernet card.
The only problem I am facing is the E stop active high and active low changes on its own, particularly at the time of reboot and has to be changed manually.
Is this due to 64 bit ? I am not facing such problems on other laptops running win7 32 bit with run as win xp option.

If you want to use a 64bit OS for running a machine than you have to use an external motion control card.

Jeff, does the new ethernet version of the smoothstepper work with 64 bit Win7 pro and have you tested it with Win8 (32 or 64)? I have an SS that I got for cheap off the bargain basement quite some time ago. I hate that thing but am forced to use it in order to support customers who use it.  However, I have read good things about the new Ethernet version. You seem to be the go-to guy for smoothstepper, so I would buy from you if I take the plunge.

Last Qs;

Ethernet SS co-exist with Windows network?
Ethernet SS co-exist with Po Keys?
